Hello Daniel, welcome to Wikipedia! 

There are lots of resources around to help guide you. try:

:::Well, it is sort of a to-do list.  Basically, the program looked for broken links that were named very similar to existing articles.  Read [[User:Daniel Quinlan/redirects]] for more information.  A bunch of people have been helping out.  Thousands of broken links (one way or another) have been fixed by now.  [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] 12:30, Nov 16, 2003 (UTC)

== Province table ==

I disagree with you about removing the province tables. I find them intensely convenient for navigating between provinces and I think it's unwieldy to present them on a separate page only. I find your reason for removing it rather dogmatic. - [[User:Montrealais|Montr&eacute;alais]] 06:31, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

: The information is not needed and the presentation is large and clunky.  I don't think that's dogmatic at all.  We don't need to clutter up every article with tables of links to related articles.  [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]] 12:16, Nov 18, 2003 (UTC)

Responded to you on my [[User talk:Montrealais|talk page]]. - [[User:Montrealais|Montr&eacute;alais]] 16:40, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Excuse me, they're not for ''my'' navigation needs - I'm just saying I found the articles difficult to use without them. I think a user who wants to read about the Canadian provinces would find it useful to be able to click from province to province. If we were talking about fifty states, I could see what you mean, but really, there are thirteen of them disposed over four lines. I don't see how that's clunky, and I don't see how they're a blot on the article's escutcheon. - [[User:Montrealais|Montr&eacute;alais]] 04:00, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

You did a very good job reorganizing the [[American Civil War]] article. [[User:Alexandros|Alexandros]] 13:34, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
