P.S. I appreciate your additions to John Pope (travel writer). You have settled some questions about him, and you did it by citing sources in an exemplary way. I made some changes to your <ref> entries which you may want to examine. We don't use "ibid." on Wikipedia because text often gets moved, and the referent to "ibid." can be lost or confused.

Also notice that on the first reference to the Claiborne notes, I added name="tangled" to the ref tag. Then I added that name-value pair to all the other refs citing the same work. I used another template, {{rp|(pages)}} to indicate pages cited in each particular reference.

Some of your footnotes have been obscured in the process. You may want to see about moving them into the text. Footnotes with extra text are supported, but it would take some different formatting that I can't recall right now.

This is probably a lot to take in if you're brand-new to Wikipedia. I'm very glad you're here and will be happy to answer questions or collaborate. My user page is User:Alarob and my talk page is User talk:Alarob. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 22:53, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
