Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page 54th engineer battalion has been reverted.
Your edit here to 54th engineer battalion was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/pages/54th-Engineer-Battalion/109365592440078) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Draft First Option

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, without the risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Happy editing, hajatvrc with WikiLove @ 21:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Is there a copyright concern with your new article?

Greetings! I see you've created an article titled History Report on Bamberg Barracks. However, the introduction to the article states, "This wiki page is a scanned copy of a report by an un-named woman." If the woman is unnamed—and if we thus cannot know that she is a federal employee (and she likely isn't)—how do we know that the text is free to be reproduced on Wikipedia? —C.Fred (talk) 01:36, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to History Report on Bamberg Barracks. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.   — Jeff G.  ツ 01:45, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Wiki-dudes. I did not realize this change could be considered controversial. Pretty straight-forward material, I thought. The booklet I got this info from was personally-printed, and the librarian said it was written by an unnamed woman, with no copywrite. How do I prove conclusively that it's not copywrited anywhere in the world?? Do I get the librarian to come on here & confirm that 1) this booklet is in the Bamberg base library & 2) the woman that wrote it has no interest in copywriting it? I read the Citation page but do not see how to do this Simplegreen1963 (talk) 05:23, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

I have moved 54th engineer battalion to User:Simplegreen1963/sandbox. When it actually has some useful content, you may move it to 54th Engineer Battalion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
