Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Madisonville, Kentucky do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Uploading images
[edit]Hi Hendo1270. I notice you've had some trouble with images. We've got a mini "how-to" for uploading images you may want to follow. Hope this helps! matt (talk) 10:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Template:Rename media. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. serioushat 11:07, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit.

Status and Advice
[edit]As reviewing administrator, I declined to immediately delete the articles, but I point out to you that they absolutely do need sources. It's presumably some local history? I added one or two from GBooks, but they do not document most of the facts given the the articles. There's another point: we have a firm practice that all settlements are notable , but this does not automatically extend to neighborhoods. Articles are more likely to be accepted if they refer to formally designated places. These once had post offices--post offices usually served specifically mapped areas, though I do not know if that was true also in the 19th century. Were they ever Designated Places in a census? that counts very heavily. I am fairly certain that the articles will be nominated for a deletion discussion,; I am not at all sure what will be decided. I do know, that except for the post offices, I would certainly have merged the information with the town myself. I advise you to add the sources very quickly,to strengthen the article.

- A basic principal of Wikipedia is WP:V--the material in an article must have reliable sources. In this article, all you have given in the way of references is the proof from a primary source that it had a post office. You found the history of the place somewhere. You have to say where. If it was a book, give the bibliographic reference to it. If it was an unpublished local history or web page, there may be some problems, but specify whatever you can. Some of the material, such as the integration of the high school, should have newspaper articles about it. Cite them. The last sentence or two seem personal opinion, & if you cannot find a source for them in a published work you cannot include it.
- Additionally, we need some evidence that it was an actual distinct place and not merely a neighborhood. Is it referred to as one in sources?. Do any of the censuses list it as a specific place?. Do any maps? The local library can undoubtedly help you find this material. Tell them you want it to write a Wikipedia article--all librarians know about Wikipedia, though not all of them like it.
- If you cannot show it was a distinct place, you would do better to merge the material into the article for Henderson. But it still needs sourcing.
- For further help, please see our guide to writing Wikipedia articles, and the relevant parts of the free online version of Wikipedia: The Missing Manual by John Broughton (also available in print). DGG ( talk ) 08:57, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mary Ann Fisher, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://hendersonkyhistory.com/MAFisherBio.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.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mary Ann Fisher
[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 Mary Ann Fisher requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Mary Ann Fisher. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you.

[edit] Your addition to Corydon, Kentucky has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
You cannot lift material wholesale from a copyrighted source, even if you cite the source in the article. As I see you have been warned about this on several occasions, I strongly encourage you to read and understand WP:C and WP:COPYVIO before continuing to edit. Given your history, continuing to violate Wikipedia's copyright policies is likely to get you blocked from editing very soon. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 15:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
