User talk:Geograph66n

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I see you have already started making useful contributions to this resource. You will find that articles on geography need a lot more work. Should your interests include more articles on Minnesota, there are a number that need work.

One way you can help protect your contributions is by citing references for your contributions. That is often easier to do at the outset rather than coming back later. If you need any assistance with that, feel free to ask questions here (I will watch this page) and I will try to help.

Again, thank you for your contributions. We hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia. Kablammo 01:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some additional resources which may be of help:

To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert your name and timestamp, use (~~~~) (four tildes), or, to insert just your name, type (~~~) (three tildes).
Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
Eventually, you may want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
In your edits, be bold!

There are a number of projects where you can discuss subjects which may interest you. Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota is one. Thank you. Kablammo 01:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One other note: When you upload pictures which you have taken, you have to provide a licensing tag which demonstrates that you have released your work into the public domain. If you do not, a bot will wander by and put a big notice on your page. All you have to do is add the following:

and the template tag will be generated. Kablammo 01:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Misquah Hills

Nice contribution to the Misquah Hills article. I started the article myself but I've never been there and my reference materials are pretty limited. I appreciate your work to improve this existing article and I'm confident that, provided your writing remains crisp and concise, others will be equally pleased with your contributions.

Hi Spottacus; thanks much for your encouragement, and thanks for starting the article. This is my first attempt at contributing to Wikipedia. I live on the East Coast, but love visiting the Misquahs when I can. They're worth a visit; very beautiful, and very quiet. I'll try to come up with more geography articles in the future.Geograph66n 21:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geo, see my response to your posting on my talk page. Brain Rodeo 19:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Section rewrite needed Talk:Laurentian Upland

Please see comments on Talk:Laurentian Upland. The section about the Laurentian Highlands seems to be a copyvio of the article Home > The Canadian Encyclopedia > Geography > Land Features > Laurentian Highlands IMHO the wikipedia article needs a re-write. This query is being sent to you as you have done revisions/corrections to the article Laurentian Upland. SriMesh | talk 01:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Mapline (July 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://www.newberry.org/smith-center-publications. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Mapline may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Copyright problem: Draft:Mapline

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Draft:Mapline, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://www.newberry.org/smith-center-publications, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Draft talk:Mapline and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Draft:Mapline, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Draft talk:Mapline. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Draft talk:Mapline with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Draft talk:Mapline saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:03, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
