User talk:Lance Allred
Message from Nancy Sculerati
I copied below a post that our head tech, Jason Potkanski, made on the Forums. What's the Forums, you wonder Lance? Well, look over to the left at the side bar under the heading "communication". The First bullet is Forums- it's a hyper link. If you click you'll go there. To get back here, just hit the back arrow on your browser. Here's the post:
I have a favor to ask of the History Workgroup. The article First Punic War (http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/First_Punic_War) appears high on Google searches. It has been steadily climibing, currently 10 to 12 in rank on a search for first punic war. If this article can be pushed along to approved status, this would be good PR.
