:::Mary, I wasn't born knowing how to format references in the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> method. Nor was I even aware of how to do it when I first encountered the Wiki markup language. What I did, was spend about a week '''reading''' wiki help articles and especially those that explained how to use the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> method. I did that before I first ventured to start writing Wiki articles or making minor revisions in existing articles. Of course, I needed help along the way and I took heed of what people told me instead of deciding that I knew it all and did not need their help. When anyone corrected my errors, I did not delete the corrections and go back to my original incorrect methods. Instead, I accepted their corrections and tried to learn from my mistakes.

Page is Ready for Editing and Wikifying

I managed to finally finish writing the article. Please be gentle when editing and wikifying it. I will do what I can but your help would be most greatly appreciated.

You definitely have some formatting issues! haha. Did you see what Milton did to fix them last time? Try practicing it and let me know if you get stuck and I'll see if I can help, though I am not an expert on reference formatting!! D. Matt Innis 03:12, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
I did try copy and paste but that made things worse. As Milton helping earlier I guess it was appreciated. It would have been better though if he tried after I finished writing the article.

Thanks!
