Hello, Dmarbury94, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Hi! I wanted to drop you a note about the draft. Make sure that you find something other than local coverage for the post office as local coverage tends to be greatly depreciated on Wikipedia as far as asserting notability goes. I'm not sure if regional postal facilities as a whole are independently notable outside of the main US Postal Service, so I'd also check with your professor, Dr Aaij on this. I've tagged him in this to get his input. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 15:56, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
The article Birmingham Post Office has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Two local newspaper citations do not establish notability for this post office. Most of the article lacks sources and there are several statements that need verification. I suspect some or even most of the prose may even be under copyright from the newspaper mentioned but don't have access to verify that suspicion.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi - I discovered that you had posted some content to the article for Ambassador of Luck that was taken verbatim from this NYT article. This is considered to be a copyright violation and plagiarism issue even though you included the original source as a citation. Always be careful when writing article content - a good way to avoid doing this is to take notes while reading and write your article from those notes.
Unless the material is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or was released under a compatible Creative Commons license, it should be assumed that the content is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being used verbatim elsewhere. It's always best to write things in your own words, as this can help prevent issues like this from arising. I would like for you to review the module on plagiarism and copyright, thanks. I'm also going to ping your professor, Dr Aaij. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 14:51, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Birmingham Post Office.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:25, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot ( talk) 17:02, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
The Winter Soldier - 2018, does not have enough sources and citations 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. Regards,

Hi! I made some changes to your article.
As far as suggestions go, you definitely need to add more sourcing to the article. I've added some to the article to help keep it from getting moved back to the draftspace, but you should definitely add more - a development section would be good, however the easiest form of sourcing will be reviews for the book. This brochure on editing book articles should also be of help with expanding and sourcing the article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 19:21, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Your addition to

Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be
blocked from editing. See
Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. The plot synopsis was copied from The Washington Post review. Automatically substituting synonyms is not enough, and also leads to nonsensical text. Besides brief quotation, you must paraphrase sources in your own words.

On 21 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Winter Soldier (2018 novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that literary critic Ron Charles said that the "beauty of Daniel Mason's new novel, The Winter Soldier, persists even through scenes of unspeakable agony"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Winter Soldier (2018 novel). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, The Winter Soldier (2018 novel)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
