SATS - Thanks for that. Some good stuff there. I haven't time right now but it might be best that it be moved to the "Document" namespace sometime; if only because that will give it the status of a reproduced external document that should not be edited. As it is it is part of your personal information. It also needs categorising and some links to other pages (already existing or not) so that it does not sink into obscurity as an unfindable orphan. I'll get around to it and any comments welcome. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] 13:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Peter - Thanks for the help. I am new to this and still learning. I went into the Category tree and then into Deep Politics Theory then accessed my page from there. I thought my article would be linked back there but I was mistaken. Still not sure where I went wrong or what I should have done but I am sure I will eventually sort it out. Any simple Idiot guide would be welcome.--[[User:SATS|SATS]] 20:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
