==Swastika==
It seems the text you have taken from that website was clearly a copyright violation (unless you are the author, of course). I have removed the verbatim quote for now, but feel free to summarize the information in you own words!

I am the author--Bob Kobres--and both of the images were created by me. The Han silk image is a very degraded bitonal of a portion of the artifact (academic fair use) and has been on my website for years--the other image is entirely my creation. http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/bronze.html
:fine. In this case, of course, we are not dealing with copyright violation. I hope, however, that you realize that your text will be "edited mercilessly and redistributed at will"; i. e. it will have to be Wikipedia:Wikification, and also rephrased to fit in the flow of the article, seeing that your article does not primarily deal with the swastika. I encourage you, however, to put the entire text on a new article, Comets and the Bronze Age Collapse, to which we could link from Swastkia. regards, User:Dbachmann_(User_talk:Dbachmann)__">User:Dbachmann|User:Dbachmann (User_talk:Dbachmann) 15:39, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
==External links==
I note you are adding a large number of external links to the University of Georgia's archives. In general, this is very useful. However, there are a few things you should take into consideration:
#The customary heading for the section is ==External links==
#"Java" is not an acronym, it's a proper noun, so only the first letter should be capitalized.
#Be careful about what articles you add the links to: for example, you added a link to a collection of WWI and WWII posters to the World War article. However, the article was about large-scale wars in general, so such a specific link was out of place. I've moved it to the article on Propaganda.

==Image source==
Thank you for uploading :Image:Bearbirdcomet.gif. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --User:Ellmist 05:09, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
