Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, SMS Talk 21:02, 20 October 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

- You probably did me a service by forcing me to review my text about the Bowman family. However, you did Nancy Gray a disservice by removing the citation of her work.

- Hi John, the material you added could not be retained in that form. A link to the page on where Nancy Gray's work can be found was left in the page history. The material that you had copied directly into Wikipedia was first published in 1969 by in the Australian Dictionary of Biography and is now made available online by the Australian National University in a way that is easy to access, but it is still clearly marked as copyright. When material is still copyrighted, sections of it cannot be reproduced in Wikipedia without permission. Drchriswilliams (talk) 17:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
