Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (Miami) into List of the oldest churches in the United States. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:22, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa: Thanks for your comments, and helpful suggestions. In actuality, the original text copied was from the website of Trinity Cathedral. The fact I gleaned from that was the "original city limits" portion; that Trinity is the cathedral is widely-known and -documented. I'm happy to have received more information about potential pitfalls. Peace.Lewisday (talk) 20:25, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
