Ways to improve Herbert Theodore Thomas

Hi, I'm Dreambeaver. Slaney2, thanks for creating Herbert Theodore Thomas!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi, I am confused as to who you are referring to in the second paragraph. It seems out of place, to say the least.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Dreambeaver(talk) 15:33, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guys, I'm sorry I'm new to this so have no idea how I am supposed to talk. I have absolutely no doubt that the article will improve when I find out how to include photographs and archival sources. With regard to original research the only original inclusion is in paragraphs 2 & 3 of the introduction, all the rest is historical fact as far as I am aware. There are some dates to be verified such as the DFC awarded to G.M. Thomas but that is work in progress. Slaney2 (talk) 18:06, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guys, Perhaps if you let me develop the page and get to grips with all the tools and get all the resources in then you might find the subject important and/or significant. The article I linked to has been left alone but I'm guessing all newbies probably get this because of syntax and formatting issues. So what I'll do is take it down, work on it get it right with a bibliography all the cross references articles books and reviews and then try again.
