January 2009[edit]

Hello TekMason, thank you once again for taking the time to improve articles related to Huron County. I did some minor copy editing on the Saltford article, added an internal Wiki link from it to Robert Dunlop's article and provided a reference. If you're interested in adding citations to these kinds of 'historical' articles, if you haven't already, you might want to check out this website:

http://www.ourroots.ca/e/

It's an excellent resource for tracking down references based out of Canadian local/regional history books. Some historians turn up their noses at utilizing these kinds of sources, but I think if someone is aware of their inherent limitations they can provide insight that's unavailable elsewhere apart from perhaps local newspaper archives. If you haven't used 'ourroots' before it can be somewhat intimidating and to tell the truth, on occasion the functionality of the site itself leaves a little to be desired. I'd suggest doing keyword searches and browsing by subject to start if you've never used the site before. If you have any questions about anything, just give me a a shout on my own talk page. I've been thinking for a while that the museum in Goderich badly needs its own article and that "Tiger" deserves more attention, he was definitely a fascinating character. happy editing cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 19:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
