Thanks for contributing to the Washington article, but can you add a source to the info you added? Thanks. If you need help inserting the reference, let me know.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 21:16, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Rules to edit by

Hi. Please familiarize yourself with two of Misplaced Pages's official policies:

• Misplaced Pages:No original research
• Misplaced Pages:Verifiability

Also you may want to look at the reliable sources guidelines. The policies are non-negotiable rules. They are the reason your edits to Virgin birth of Jesus continue to be reverted. If you can provide reliable sources for the paragraph you keep re-posting, and write it in neutral point of view, then it won't get deleted. Thanks. =Axlq (talk) 21:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I responded to your comment on my talk page, but it basically says the same thing as I wrote above. =Axlq (talk) 01:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I would add that it is convention for places of birth in Britain to use the county of the time, i.e. Stretford, Lancashire pre 1 April 1974 and Stretford, Greater Manchester after this date. There are also guidelines on places at WP:PLACE and WP:UKCITIES. Hope that helps! Once again, welcome! -- Jza84 · (talk) 14:41, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
