hello hi harebag welcome when i saw the article on the pigeon force police department i thought it was a joke it is real i also started a new article on larry buendorf he's a secret service agent that wrestled a presidential assassin to the ground any suggestions for improvement let me know as for your article i suggest a little background mention the city and state name fix the link good luck on editing additional suggestions for pigeon force pd who's the chief any major history big crime solved any controversy or major lawsuit against it when was it established was the area patrolled by the county sheriff before then and then the city was established if so when these are just tips otherwise there is a risk that someone will petition for the article's deletion because there is a board for that thus destroying your hard work that's the reason that i wrote quite a bit about my new article first rather than just start out with a few sentences and add to it slowly i do plan to add more to my article though archives please sign your messages so people know who is writing them and can write back to you you do this by clicking on the squiggly lines about inches below the box where you type there are people who search for things to delete don't ask me why to add references type in the reference after your sentence for example type boston is the capital of massachusetts then after the period type a then and so then i can't do it here otherwise the computer will make my example into a footnote and you then wouldn't be able to see it the at the bottom type then then reflist then then so that the references will print up as a list another way is just to pull up an article push the edit this page and see how the computer source is written and copy it for your article i don't know the answers to your questions just wait and see i wouldn't do articles at once until you get a feel of what's accepted and what's not i'm the wrong person to ask don't worry people will come around they did to my article within a day or two
