Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as 490th Civil Affairs Battalion. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:41, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diana,

Thanks for letting me know. The content is from a document I put together in a different citation style so I was afraid I may have dropped the proper credit when I began importing the content into the article. I will get that fixed today because as a writer I do take plagiarism very seriously. --Sarge8284 (talk) 12:45, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
