Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bath County, Virginia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to West Warm Springs, Virginia has been removed or altered, as it appears to closely paraphrase a copyrighted source. Limited close paraphrasing or quotation is appropriate within reason, so long as the material is clearly attributed in the text. However, longer paraphrases which are not attributed to their source may constitute copyright violation or plagiarism, and are not acceptable on Wikipedia. Such content cannot be hosted here for legal reasons; please do not upload it. You may use external websites or printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If you own the copyright to the text, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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 copyright but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:19, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Magnolia677, I hear you. Following your first edit I went through and scrubbed a few more from the history. CaveCooperCohutta, your edit on Paul Cornoyer was already a copyright violation. Please read our policies and be assured that we take them seriously. If you have any questinos, please ask us. Your response is appreciated. Drmies (talk) 21:28, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies Thank you for this advice. I appreciate your comments and will revise the information accordingly. The information removed will be said in my own words, as it is important to the local context of the article. CaveCooperCohutta (talk) 01:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677 Thank you for catching this! CaveCooperCohutta (talk) 01:45, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
