`  == James Carter and Wikipedia Style ==  Hello,  First I must thank you for creating the article on James Carter.  I added him to the list of requested musicians several days ago, so I am very appreciative that you took the time to create an article.  My question regards an element of wikipedia style.  You recently edited the ``Born January 3...`` into ``b. January 3...``  I am a new user (though I have contributed anonymously for a couple of months), so I am not completely familiar with the minute details of Wikipedia style.  Is this the correct way to write out the birthdate?  Should I always abbreviate the ``Born``?  I welcome any advice you can offer as an admin.`
