| Hello matey! Welcome to ]! Thanks for the edit to the ] page; the Uncle Tom's Cabin section was, in my opinion, unnecessary.

Also, there are quite severe differences of opinion on race issues and the American Civil War in the U.S., so editing the Civil War page may be futile for quite a while to come. Anyhow, I'm sure a member of the welcome committee will be along soon to say howdy and publish some kind of tutorial/faq on your talk page. If not, you can always swing by mine and use that. ], I'll just post up mine till someone else comes along and does a proper job. Happy trails matey!

Revision as of 11:40, 29 March 2007
Before making the kind of sweeping deletions you are making to American Civil War, you need to discuss things on the talk page first. I've reverted the deletions. NawlinWiki 14:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Aloha
