Hello all--I am pretty new to Wikipedia, so I'd like to apologize for the lack of references as yet in the Carpenter article. I have them, just need to do some further learning about formatting. Thanks! APWebber 02:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am another novice. I added a section on his extended family. I added references to that section. Still need to learn about embeding links and references. Jrcrin001 (talk) 06:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the original picture with the image map you mentioned--I agree that that is a much more useful and better image.

I changed the image because there's a bot designed to correct formatting errors that changes the image map markup causing the picture to disappear from the article. I think I have corrected the problem. APWebber (talk) 01:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The bots are helpful, but can be a pain. Jrcrin001 (talk) 01:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
