Talk:Dowagiac, Michigan

message: I just added Philo D. Beckwith to the Notable Residents section but don't know how to create the link to the Wiki article on Beckwith.  I think this is an important addition to this article as Beckwith built a large theater in town and invited a very prominent American Freethinker, Robert Ingersoll to give the dedication speech.     — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.216.43 (talk) 17:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: 24.11.216.43,  Excellent.  I fixed the first link (changing a curly-brace to a square-bracket), and added the second link as you said above.  There are nice Help links all over, but the MediaWiki is very complex, because it does a lot, and there is a LOT to learn!  Keep trying!  I think we were at the same talk tonight.  Want to expand your entry with what you wrote above?  That is an important addition.  If so, we should probably support it with a citation, perhaps to Susan Jacoby's book?  (I don't have it, but perhaps you do.)  Citations are one of the most difficult tasks in MediaWiki, but I have done a couple.  A citation makes it more difficult to remove controversial text.  BTW, if a Wikipedia page had a good write-up, and someone removed it, do you know *when* the text might have been *added* or *removed* or at least of have *existed*?  I am good with unwinding bad edits by using tab *Show History*.  Ask for help on this or my talk page.  Good luck!  EchoPapa 05:32, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
