Thank you for calling my attention to Caspar, California. I have made a few small edits after yours mostly for format and style. Also I will look for more references and if you have any books with sections about Caspar, please don't hesitate to add that info to the page itself or to its "Talk" page.

Caspar's Ghostly Inn[edit]

Yes, you are right, the citation I found about the Inn said it was closed, but in an effort not to scare you, I didn't make a whole pile of changes - and I ran out of time this morning before work! More to come, I found a very interesting book with a lot of your local history which will make some of this citable, and I'm fairly sure I can get citations for some of the load currently being carried by the Caspar site. I will pick at it for the next few days, but please feel free to change the language on the cite to say that is is closed. Citation ten seems to work for me, perhaps it was a web hiccup when you tried it. I'm looking forward to helping you learn as much of the wiki process as you wish!

P.S. ... use a colon character (:) to get a new paragraph break instead of a plain " " space at the beginning of a line; otherwise you get

exactly what you typed !

Now there's some materials to cite!! These are even in standard citation format to scoop up from the "edit" plain text window. all they need is a tag in front; and a tag at the end of each one when you use them, like so

<ref>Citation here</ref>
