Subject: [CARPENTER] Carpenter Families articles on Wikipedia
Hello,
For those who are familar with Wikipedia, you are aware that anyone is
allowed to edit the articles. It the edit is good, it lasts and if not, it
gets removed.
In general, articles that do not follow the wiki format get tagged. This
means they need correction. Some times the editing can be brutal.
We now have two articles that need some help.
1) William Carpenter of Providence. The article looks like it will stay.
It still needs more cleanup. See tags regarding it becoming "wikified." Any
wiki editors online willing to help?
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Carpenter_(Rhode_Island)
2) Rehoboth Carpenter Family.
Currently we have two competing versions (5 April 2009 and 19 April 2009), a
lack of communication and compromise. One editor, without discussion of
comment keeps reverting old versions.
I have provided a compromise article dated 20 Apr 2009 along with a survey
at the bottom of the talk page. Any wiki editors willing to vote on the
survey or provide input? Others can vote by joining wikipedia first (See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ).
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rehoboth_Carpenter_family
Main article at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehoboth_Carpenter_family
Any help in editing, constructive input, and sharing related pictures for
these article will be welcome.
Any comments and or suggestions?
