Hi,
thanks for creating the very interesting article Pavoloch. A few comments:
a) wiki-articles need to be referenced[1] Otherwise the article will be soon marked for deletion.
b) external links are usually put in single brackets, for example: [travel2ukraine.info/pavoloch/ pictures at the travel2ukraine site]. Internal (wiki) links are put in double brackets.
c) My family is from a shtetl, so I share some of your emotions. However, sentences such as "Only a handful of non-Jewish men and women tend to the Shtetl, keeping alive the tragic, beautiful place that is Pavoloch" are not-encyclopaedic, so someone will eventually delete them. Please try to conform to the encyclopaedic style.
Leave me a message (here or on my talkpage) if you need help.
Best regards,

Notes
See WP:REF. This is just an example
how to format the references.
- Pavoloch References
- Hello. I'm Eislundo, the author of the page, "Pavoloch." Thank you for your suggestions. They were helpful, and I followed B and C to the letter. However, I have a question, about the references. I already referenced my information, by putting up the pages, from which I got my information. If there is another way of referencing, please contact me on my talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eislundo (talk • contribs) 17:55, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, I am moving the discussion here (to keep it in one place).
- Thanks, the article is becoming better and better. I have formatted the ref-s (for some reason they do not work without "http") and added a couple of categories.
- Perhaps one can make the style even a bit more encyclopaedic (e.g. try to rewrite the phrases such "When they got fed up", keeping the content but changing the style a bit). Try to look at examples in Category:Shtetls (for example, Balta, Ukraine).
- A side remark: you can add your signature after writing something at a talk page by placing 4 "~" signs (as I do at the end of this message).
