I nominated an article that you created, Graving, for deletion. If you think that the article is salvageable, or that I'm mistaken, please comment on its deletion page. Please see the Guide to deletion if you have any questions about Wikipedia's deletion process. -- Rklawton 02:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

References

There are several ways to add a reference. The best way is to put the whole URL in brackets at the end of the sentence or paragraph you are sourcing. The code will look something like this: [http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en] when you edit it and like this: [1] after you save the page. When adding a reference, please point to the specific page on which we can find the supporting information. Rklawton 05:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Erin Burnett

Thank you for your contribution. You may not have noticed, but we are currently debating the addition of that quote on the discussion page. For now, I have reverted your edit as we are waiting for the determination of the Admins in this case. So far the Admins have stated that the quote should not be placed because of unfair context and irrelevance to the page.

If the issue becomes a controversy and is commented on by peer media, we plan on including the quote in a controversy section.

Thank you. - ICarriere 13:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

How interesting to see this marker of Maria's. Do you have any other photos of the environs of the cemetery? She had some children buried nearby, too. Just curious what it looked like. Thanks.Brian0324 (talk) 21:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
