Thanks Mushroom!
I am still learning about editing Wiki pages, but I'll get there. Since I have been a web developer for a few years, the idea of using a different "markup" language doesn't bother me.
I am planning to create a page as an "add on" to an existing page: Bucksnort, Tennessee! As a result of research completed by membes of my family, I know of another Bucksnort, Tennessee which was located in Lincoln County, Tennessee prior to the Civil War. Do you see a problem with this?
Thanks again!

- Hi Vituperex, you can read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission to learn how the procedure works. Basically, you have to:
- Send an email to the webmaster (that is, yourself) asking for permission to use the text under the GFDL license.
- Forward both the email you sent and the answer you received to "permissions AT wikimedia DOT org"
- Add the {{confirmation}} template to the article's talk page. I can do this for you if needed.

Hi Mushroom!
The two emails you mentioned with your last reply (to & from the Pamplin.net Webmaster) were forwarded to "permissions AT wikimedia DOT org". I've created two pages (one in error: "Bucksnort, Tennesse (Original)". How to delete?? Thanks!
Also: I've found some images that could stand improvements (to the best of my knowledge, they are "public domain" images). Any chance you could reply with a couple of pointers regarding image updated.

- Hi Vituperex, I have deleted the duplicate article (if it happens again, you can put the {{db-author}} template on it and an administrator will delete it). I have also added the {{confirmation}} template to the article's talk page. Regarding the images, please read Wikipedia:Uploading images. Remember that you have to provide:
- a source: author, website, publication...
- a copyright tag. Please note that images can be used as public domain only if you can prove that they really are (examples: if you made them yourself, if they are very old, or if the author has explicitly released them to the public domain).
- If you need help with the upload process or image tagging, please contact me again :) Mushroom (Talk) 18:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
