Long Creek, Illinois

Hi there, I wanted to further explain why I removed your recent additions to Long Creek, Illinois. A few sentences of your text appear verbatim at the source you cited (https://macon.illinoisgenweb.org/longcrek.html). Wikipedia takes copyright issues very seriously; a few sentences isn't a huge violation, but still shouldn't happen. In addition, much of the content you added did not appear at that source. Including one source at the end of a huge paragraph isn't super useful - the source should appear after the statements it applies to. Where did you get the rest of your information? If I can help with anything, just let me know. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 19:16, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Macon County Sheriff’s Office

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Macon County Sheriff’s Office requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 6Packs (talk) 18:35, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Macon County Sheriff’s Office moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Macon County Sheriff’s Office, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster _talk 20:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Macon County Sheriff’s Office

Hello, Soccer717. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Macon County Sheriff’s Office".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 10:19, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
