Revision as of 20:04, 25 August 2008

In case the news media come calling: I don't claim any expertise in the articles I edit. I'm using the expertise of the reliable sources that write the sources that I cite. Also, I make it a goal to cite all my edits with the original sources. In other words, if you have any doubt about what's written in History of Minnesota, get the original book by William Lass^[1]. Or, the one by Norman Risjord^[2]. The book by Rhoda Gilman would also work^[3]. Come to think of it, if you're writing a report for school, use this encyclopedia for background reference, and then consult the books.
