November 2020

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Columbia Falls, Montana, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:09, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

So you removed everything I did? Even the picture that I added? Because I didn’t cite every thing? What about the stuff that I had cited? 12mrobrien (talk) 15:33, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Columbia Falls, Montana, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:13, 26 November 2020 (UT

Why were my additions to notable people removed when both were cited with reliable sources? I'm not sure what else you want. I'm sorry I am new toi this and only trying to improve this one page. also way was my picture of the N Fork Road removed?

The people you keep adding aren't "notable", which means they don't have a Wikipedia article. The rest of your edits were mostly unsourced, and the picture doesn't look like it was taken in Columbia Falls. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:18, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Have you ever been to Columbia Falls? I happen to live here the photograph was taken in Columbia Falls on the North Fork road. 12mrobrien (talk) 22:26, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Also Joe Bereta doesn’t have a Wikipedia page and you left him. I cited my notable people. 12mrobrien (talk) 22:32, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Please see Barats and Bereta. I consider this a BLP about him, but if you disagree feel free to delete. I know the Columbia Falls area quite well, and this photo looks to have been taken way north of town. Could you include a Google Map link to the location the photo was taken? Thanks.

Flathead National Forest 5333–5379 N Fork Rd Columbia Falls, MT 59912 United States 12mrobrien (talk) 22:59, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

You do realize the photo was taken over 8 miles from Columbia Falls? Magnolia677 (talk) 23:25, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Okay so by your metric Big Mountain isn’t actually in Whitefish. Good to know, I’ll be holding surrounding towns to the same standards that you’re holding Columbia Falls to! 12mrobrien (talk) 23:44, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Columbia Falls, Montana, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

I apologize that was completely accidental. Thank you 12mrobrien (talk) 17:32, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Columbia Falls, Montana

DS Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 12mrobrien! Your additions to Morning Eagle have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:05, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Rachel Warner moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Rachel Warner, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
