Your submission at Articles for creation edit
I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Florence K. Murray. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

Ways to improve Francis A. Cook edit
Hi, I'm Ormr2014. Jmgould, thanks for creating Francis A. Cook!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article is relatively well-written, but lacks necessary citations. For instance, the first line, "Francis Augustus Cook (1843-1916) was a career United States Navy officer who served from 1860 until 1903" should have a citation.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Ormr2014 (talk) 22:02, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Charles Wheaton Abbot, Jr., and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.oocities.org/suvcwricamp21/cwabbot.htm.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:40, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Charles Wheaton Abbot, Jr. edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Charles Wheaton Abbot, Jr. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.oocities.org/suvcwricamp21/cwabbot.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright and other things edit
I'm afraid that you misunderstand copyright. By posting your text onto a publicly accessible website, you have 'published' it and it is automatically copyright. Public domain is a term referring to the publications of certain (mostly American) government departments, and to publications where the author (or last co-author) died over a certain number of years previously (the number varies between countries). For example, anyone can republish Through the Looking Glass without having to pay royalties, but not Animal Farm. Wikipedia is licensed for free use by anyone anywhere under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL. Text original to here is OK, and so is text from publications in the public domain, and also text from publications licensed in the same way as Wikipedia. This requires attribution in the case of public domain and CC licence (note that other CC licences like CC-BY-NC-SA are not suitable). It might sound silly that you cannot reuse something you wrote, but we don't always know who wrote something, and we don't know who our posters are. We have to play safe for (possibly expensive) legal reasons. There is a procedure for licensing text for use here, but I don't advise going down that route. I'm afraid that your subject would not pass our notability policy WP:BIO, and you cannot use text you have written as a reference (all articles should have reliable independent sources to prove the notability, and your text may be independent of the subject, but it is not independent of you...). Please feel free to ask any other administrator for an opinion on the notability of your subject - I've just gone by my reading of the article - but please don't ask for email communication. We tend to keep that for communications from users whose talk page access is blocked, or for discussing matters that should not be publicly visible - WP:BEANS will serve as an example of this. Peridon (talk) 13:12, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Note from jmgould - The author of the above may understand copyright law but has no idea what common sense is. The purpose of copyright law is to protect the author's financial interest in being able to profit from his own work. In this case, I merely copied my own work. Does this violate the spirit of copyright law? Certainly not! Does it violate the letter? Maybe so but it seems to me that copyright law protects an author's work from UNAUTHORIZED reproduction. If an author copies his own work, that shows, ipso facto, that that reproduction is implicitly authorized. Any internet forum, such as Wikipeida, which allows "anyone" to edit it in the name of intellectual freedom, needs to accept the reality that what is inappropriate for one person may be considered a fundamental human right of free speech for another. I protest Wikipedia's policy of "you can write whatever you want - unless we (the Wikipedia "gods") decide you can't write it. Its basically saying, "You have full freedom - except when you don't." All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 19:43, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Comment from jmgould - I will find the necessary citation and add it to the article. All I want to add is the Larz Anderson became a member of the Maryland Society of the Cincinnati in succession to his father. Is this a freaking issue? I don't know what the other editor's problem is - the TRUTH alone should be sufficient defense for any edit on Wikipedia. I added the comment again with a reference and it was deleted. I don't consider this either 1. fair or 2 in the spirit of Wikipedia. I added a non-controversial and TRUE statement with a REFERENCE and it gets deleted. WTF? I don't get why anybody would have a problem with this.
Speedy deletion nomination of Hope Club edit
Hello Jmgould,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hope Club for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Supdiop (talk) 02:58, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of James F. Hesson edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on James F. Hesson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William P. Ennis, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages X Corps and Army War College.

I reverted your edit at Military career of Audie Murphy, funnily repeating something an IP tried to do not long ago. Please have a read at MOS:ICON. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:31, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment by jmgould - I honestly don't get this - WTF is wrong with a freakn icon? All I want to do is add a table which shows which ranks Major Murphy was promoted to and when. This is another example of how Wikipedia has gone off the rails and become part of the thought police.

Stuff from the latest Wikipedia signpost for your amusement edit
from Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost:
- Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-07-31/Essay - Why Wikipedia does not need you
- Wikipedia:Rouge admin - an intentional misspelling of "rogue admin", funny article
- Wikipedia:Rouge editor - the counterpart to the rouge admin
The above articles are apparently intended to push the view that "admins are gods and editors can stuff it". Despite that, they are in fact humorous. I usually manage to avoid conflict by concentrating on areas that few others on Wiki are interested in. Operating in a vacuum is lonely, but it does avoid conflict.
The Signpost mentions proposed EU copyright legislation that would require websites to pay royalties to other websites for each use of another's content. Wikipedia is seeking an exception.
My freezer died yesterday. This has led to an upset in my schedule that has impacted my work on Fort Miles. But I'll get to it eventually. I've re-arranged the article chronologically, now I'll add some points to it.
I've just become aware via YouTube of The Sacred Riana. She's a magician from Indonesia with one of the scariest acts ever. Think of Wednesday Addams a bit older and somewhat possessed, doing a magic act. Usually including a creepy doll. Riana was the overall winner of Asia's Got Talent last year and is doing well on America's Got Talent. RobDuch (talk) 06:08, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey,
I just took a look at your edits and saw you created several pages about the military history of Rhode Island, and edited many more, also about US military history in general. I don´t know if you´re already aware of it but WikiProject Military History is a place were other editors, resources, discussion, statistics and inspiration for further editing can be found. Taskforces you might be interested in could be e.g. that about United States military history, the American Civil War task force or the task force about Maritime warfare. Everybody is welcome and free to take a look, so if you´re interested just drop by, and sign yourself up if you want to.

Laurence E. Bunker is tagged for notability concerns. I guess his NYT obituary needs a couple of other articles added. RobDuch (talk·contribs) 08:32, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
I see that in the above article you used this article as a source. That page is marked as copyright, but you copied from it practically word for word. Please don't add content copied from elsewhere online - it's a violation of our copyright policy to do so. It turns out in this case that historycentral.com copied the text from a US Navy website, so it's okay for us to keep as long as it's properly attributed.
