Howdy, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I have removed the above tag as it relates to biographies of living people - the subject passed away in 1944. However, the article still has major issues and the subject may not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia where are set out at WP:GNG. You should have a read and try to determine if the subject meets the criteria. You should also be conscious of some of Wikipedia's other guidelines like WP:COI and WP:OWN. I have made a number if changes to the article. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 05:10, 28 September 2012 (UTC).

Edmund Jüssen

Hello Mugzyandmax,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Edmund Jüssen, may be copied from http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/wmh/archives/search.aspx?area=browse&volume=12&articleID=6746. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 05:57, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I look at the article and removed the material and rewrote it so that should take care of any copyright problems-thanks-RFD (talk) 11:23, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

A word on copying content

Hello, Mugzyandmax, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:58, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Daniel Pope Cook, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Mears. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
