Just so you know - you should never sign your name after making an edit to an article. This is because any given article can have dozens, or even hundreds, of individual editors, and if everyone signed, then the article would quickly become an illegible mess of signatures. Information as to who made which edit is automatically tracked, and is available in the article history.

Conversely, you should always sign the messages you leave on article discussion pages or on user talk pages.

No harm done - this is just so you know. DS (talk) 02:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Downtown Mill Demo 8 July crop signed.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NW (Talk) 21:07, 11 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

No original research

edit

You cannot use a personal interview with anyone as a source in WP. That is original resrarch; see WP:OR. deisenbe (talk) 14:39, 2 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the info

edit

I was unaware of the whole situation in Georgia and thank you for that information, which I have incorporated.

I cannot find documentation for the flag issue contributing to Murphy’s defeat. If you have some, please add it.

If you add further citations, please make a complete reference, not just the URL. This is not my personal request. deisenbe (talk) 19:02, 2 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

I know there are some resources that are not online in West Georgia. I'll try to secure them or have someone do it for me as i am no longer in West Georgia. As for the references, last night the computer would auto do it, but today when I was reposting it didn't do that option and only did the references. Not sure why it was different but it was.

  Hi Blevins! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Flaggers (movement) that was clearly not a minor edit. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Flaggers (movement), you may be blocked from editing. This refers to your change of sourced text so that it contradicted the source. You changed characterized to mis-characterized although the sourced back the original.

What "incorrect" information was introduced? I only post correct information. I personally know the man who started the Georgia Flaggers and I know the woman that began the Virginia Flaggers, so I'm a bit versed in this topic.
It is also an opinion that Flaggers are "racist" while I personally know none that are. The wording in the article needs to be neutral or show both points of view. This is correct information vs. Just part correct information is presented without all the information. Ernest Everett Blevins (talk) 05:15, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
