Young Goodman Brown

Thank you for the message; it seems you were using several user names and I was having a hard time finding which one was the correct one to address. If you look at some of the links in the welcome message above this, you can take the time to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policy. In particular, your contributions violate our policy against personal essays or, as we call it, "original research". Any information you add can not be something you came up with on your own or through your own reading but must be based on reliable published sources which are verifiable. Our opinions, arguments, and beliefs on "Young Goodman Brown" are irrelevant here. So, find a book on Hawthorne or about his writings and add what those scholars are saying and make sure to use a footnote. Let me know if you need help. --Midnightdreary (talk) 11:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple user names

Hello! I'm trying to help you understand policy as you continue to try to contribute good faith edits to the article on "Young Goodman Brown". It's hard to tell if you are getting my messages because you are using so many accounts (I'm presuming this is one person). Are you familiar with the policy on multiple accounts? You might want to try sticking with just one user name - it's in your benefit as well as those who are trying to help you. --Midnightdreary (talk) 22:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
