Unspecified source/license for File:ALEABadge-Trooper.png
Thanks for uploading File:ALEABadge-Trooper.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 01:45, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello 2013AtlantaBraves, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Dothan, Alabama have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at 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 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 Copyrights. You may also want to review 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 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 Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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. Doug Weller talk 14:10, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, your recent edit to the page Alabama appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page before readding. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you. -Finlayson (talk) 03:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Alabama's total area
Regarding this edit: the figures you're trying to introduce are for the land area only, not the total area, which also includes the water area. The figures stated in the article are correct (per page 41 of the official census document). M.Bitton (talk) 00:25, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve List of New York Police Department officers killed in the line of duty
Hi, I'm Graeme Bartlett. 2013AtlantaBraves, thanks for creating List of New York Police Department officers killed in the line of duty!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Where di the information come from? There is a [8] suggesting copying from somewhere else with a reference. But what was that? I don't think the list should include people that dies from diseases or heart attacks, as that is not "killed". Otherwise change the title to say "dying"

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
