  Hello, I'm PEPSI697. I noticed that you recently removed content from Liberty Hill (La Grange, Georgia) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Liberty Hill (La Grange, Georgia), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

The paperwork from the National Archives is right here. It says "Liberty Hill" on the first page of the form, first entry. Drmies (talk) 02:24, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I know it does. I have a copy of it. That's because the owner at the time wanted her house to have the name because a house with a name is fanicier than one without a name. According to the only reliable scholarly source on this dwelling (c.f. "Pine Log and Greek Revival," by William H. Davidson) the house was simply known as the "Boykin House" after its original owner/builder. There is absolutely no documentation or even any other local lore to support the name "Liberty Hill" Libertyhellion (talk) 02:41, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I will add that I am actually the owner of the house. The photographer who took the image in 2012 did not have permission to publish it on Wikipedia. Libertyhellion (talk) 02:44, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please stop edit warring and discuss the matter on the article talk page. Drmies (talk) 12:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Libertyhellion, please have a look at User_talk:Epicgenius#Image_question; I asked an expert. There is nothing that I can see that would require any kind of permission to put that photo in an article. Meanwhile, rather than take it up on the talk page, you continue edit warring on Liberty Hill (La Grange, Georgia), and that's not good. As I said above, the name is verified in the NRHP documentation (so "there is absolutely no documentation" is simply untrue), and I don't know how you'd explain that as wrong; either way, it's a thing that will not be solved by edit warring.
