Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! --That preceding is a canned message, but I am writing this addition: I really do wish to welcome you and offer to help if I can. I found my way to your edits by seeing User:Magicpiano's surprisingly big deletion of text at the Birmingham Green Historic District article (see below). Magicpiano is correct that the document is not in the public domain; it is a common type of error for editors new to the NRHP documents. You are correct to recognize that the NRHP documents are great sources for explaining about NRHP-listed sites. But while the copy-pasted text would have been fine if the NRHP doc was PD, it is not in fact okay.
I hope you will understand that your contributions based on them are and will be appreciated! And that Magicpiano did you a service by letting you know about the problem sooner rather than later. You did add more value which did not have to be deleted, like your providing good reference to the NRHP document, which I will restore. The NRHP source provides plenty of info for us to describe the site in our own words, and also we can explicitly quote from it. I hope you will return and help edit the three articles you've created or developed:
And I will help edit them too. I will "watchlist" here and would probably see and respond to you here, but feel free to contact me at my Talk page. By the way you may be interested in watching or joining the NRHP WikiProject (shortcut wp:NRHP). Feel free to comment or ask questions at its Talk page ( wt:NRHP). Cheers, -- do ncr am 22:37, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
P.S. The district map that you created is great! I would be thrilled to have maps like that for any historic district articles that I have created. -- do ncr am 23:08, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Birmingham Green Historic District. 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) 03:01, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
Hey, i see that among many other edits you made to the Derby, Connecticut article recently, you added a table of Derby's historic sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Which you must have extracted from the corresponding NRHP county/city list-article. Hey, I think that brief listing of these places in the Derby article is fine and good and linking to the list-article is too, but duplicating the table is not helpful, IMHO, in part because it sets up more maintenance work or disparities in the coverage. Me and others have gone through this issue a few times before. Could you please discuss? Have you done this in other town articles? Either way, I am glad you are interested and contributing. Cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 02:01, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey! I was just trying to make the look of the page a little better with a table, also add some pictures on the page to add some more visuals of the sites. I haven't done this with any other pages, I was surprised I was able to duplicate it honestly. I will take a look at what some other pages have done with their NRHP sites and work on it. Thank You!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Derby, Connecticut, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ansonia ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, Nwdantona. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, User:Nwdantona/sandbox/Nwdantona.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 03:53, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Derby flag seal.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) 17:31, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello Nwdantona! Your additions to Southwest Regional Communications Center (SWRCC) 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.
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. Moneytrees🎄 Talk/ CCI guide 16:28, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Southwest Regional Communications Center (SWRCC), 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.
