Fort Lauderdale

First, I wanted to give you a (very) belated welcome to Wikipedia. (That's the above message)

With that out of the way, I wanted to let you know why I reverted your edit to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There's nothing wrong with what you wrote, and it's a good edit to the article, and it's appropriately placed. The only problem is the reference you provided. Wikipedia's policy on acceptable sources discourages the use of sources which do not have any editorial oversight. If you find a reliable source which cites that information (perhaps in a newspaper like the Sun Sentinel), feel free to restore it, but let's not rely on a real estate agent's sales site, particularly one which focuses on foreclosures, the topic of the information you added.
