Draft:Edward Mann Lewis

Hello! Thanks for starting the article about Edward Mann Lewis! He seems like an interesting person and those photosf really add to the article. The only problem right now is the text. As far as I can tell, the text was written by the West Point AoG, which would make it copyrighted, so we'll have to rewrite the article in our own words. I'll start working on that tomorrow if it's all right wiht you. --Cerebellum (talk) 00:42, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutley! Thanks so much!!!

I moved the article into mainspace, so it's now at Edward Mann Lewis. I had to condense it quite a bit though, since the online sources I was uses didn't give much information, so please expand it if you can. --Cerebellum (talk) 15:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the bolding issue on Henry Balding Lewis and moved it into articlespace. It seems like you've got the hang of this now, so in the future if you want you can create article directly instead of going through Articles for Creation. --Cerebellum (talk) 17:24, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I created his timeline tonight by hand, using the sources listed. Would love it if you could look at it, and make any needed corrections... Thanks!

Looks good! Thank you for taking the time to do that. Just so you know, if you want to add links to other pages, you can do so like this: type [[Ulysses S. Grant]] and it will show up as Ulysses S. Grant. There's more info at Help:Wikilinks. --Cerebellum (talk) 01:59, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Henry Balding Lewis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 1st Infantry Division. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your submission at Articles for creation: George Wayne Anderson (March 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Still needs any further available in-depth third-party sources overall.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:George Wayne Anderson and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2nd Infantry Division (United States) into U.S. 3rd Infantry Brigade. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:27, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Edward Clifford Anderson, SR. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:02, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license.

I have permission from the author of the book cited and referenced in the article. How should this permission be shown? Thx in advance. Pls restore the content in the meantime. thx Kevinakling (talk) 11:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. As Mitch has been fighting for AEF recognition of its accomplishments for decades, I want to have his work shown and attributed if possible. If I just have to re-write what he said, that's fine, will do. pls advise. Kevinakling (talk) 11:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder or have their permission, unless special documentation is in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see Wikipedia:donating copyrighted materials and Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission which explains how it works. — Diannaa (talk) 14:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
