I am giving up... this is almost silly, if I use my name it isn't good emough I use a name that shows it is legit and that is advertaising... I told some of the guys what I tried todo for them and they said don't bother, they are used to being ignored.. I will end my wiki account today if possible I did ask for help but it seems no one wants to give it

Joe, I appologize for writting so much, I am new at this, I actually want the info shared from site, so often allow people to use it, as for posting and reposting to the page as it was ona Sunday and done so fats, I at first thought, I didn't save it curectly, then I thought maybe it has to be saved to the bottom of the list instead of the top, so it was all misunderstanding, I have some disabilities due to injuries substained on the job, aside from loss of left leg use, I also has partial loss of ly left arm and hand so I type with one hand and a fist/claw or finger/nuckle the njuries are pretty bad, along wth that is some memory stuff, I often find myself double checkng what I just did, and seriously though I may have not saved, then though ,aybe t was in the wrong order. it is confusong and there is little video trainng to learn to post. in fact I nrmally find messages at the top of last messages, and here I just found your mesage at the bottom, so again sorry for the mis up. I will try a few more times to get it right then maybe just give up... I mean I bult a site costing 1000 hours and a 1000 dollars to help spread the word, I tried to help spread the word further here... I can't do much more than try.. I do appreiciate your help Kenny.

Joe can you show what I am doing wrong, the informatin is my own, gathered myself written or re-written myself from news paper artilces written in 1945, I was injured in 2001 LOD and lost the use of my left leg so am now wheelchair bound and will be for the rest of my lofe, my department recently issued me the Medal of Valor for my injuries, I was awarded 6 officer of the year awarss, survived two shootouts and was the first in our department to be awarded PSOB benefits for my injuries from the US Justice Department. Bill Hackley made our History site about 8 years ago, he passed away in 2012 and the site was willed to me, I took 1000 dollars and as many hours to re-write the entire site, I added info on our auxilary force, our affircan american police, and our women on the force as well as many other. I take great prode in our department and the men and women that work it andhave died or become disabled doing so. the information is mine, written by me and was added by me with my authorati9on of course. If I am diing something wrong as far as formatting let me know or help me.. the info is good in, and should be added, it is interesting that this agency and another formered their auxiliary for the same reasn WW2 I hope you'll be able to assist me in adding the info as it does pertain to the subject and should be know, our auxiliary police don't get the kind of recognition they deserve... our Police Cmmissioner in 1945 gave them no respect and should have been ashamed of himself having these men work for him as they did, and if people go to my site they will see how they paid $14 out their pocket for uniforms and equipment only to be treated poorly by the commissioner. I wanted to add the info to thank them for what they did

Joe, I went in and added a page specifically for our Auxiliary, they will always be on the timeline (homepage) but used to share a page within our dated pages 1940-1960, I found it was too complicated trying to tell people to go halfway down the page to find the Auxiliary police history, so I made a page for them of their own and placed it under our Units page http://baltimorecitypolicehistory.com/citypolice/bpd-units/auxiliary-police.html I hope this helps. Again this is my help using research that was willed to me when Bill Hackley passed away, and currently built by myself and Bobby Brown author of Some Gave all a bok about the 125 officers that gave their lives, from the start of the agency until 2007. Again I hope this helps and appreciate any help you can provide if I have incorrectly edited the page, just so it is clear though I am the copyright holder and give permmission to add this information to the site, I have much more Auxiliary history on the page. Our information cmes from police records, Sun paper archives, word of mouth talking to those that were there, historical society etc. we are police detectives, and officers, when something don't add up, as much as we might like, it becomes like a case, if it don't fit, we have to go with the facts. We had a fmaily memebr happy that her great grandfather was a medal of honor recipeint in 1945, she said he and three others won them that year, the problem was none were issued that year, I found a Sun paper archicle that announced her great grandfather and that he and three other officers had been awarded a high honor (but it didn't say medal of Honor) of course we hoped we could varify her family stories, in the end we learned one of the three guys had been awarded the Silver Star, Our agency has Medal of Honor Medal of Valor, Silver Star Bronze Star regular commedation ribbons and some lower awards. The fact that one of the three had benvarified as having the Silver star made us think they all recieved Silver Stars, in thatyear they gave awards onece a year. She sent a pic of her great grandfather an old black and white and a ribon could be seen, due to palcement it was clear it was not Medal of Honor and was a Silver Star, she was told and was sadened, but assured the award he recieved didn't change the events that lead that award, ansd he was a hero.. notonly that but a silver star wasn't a whimpy award... She ended up happer for knowing the truth, we onle report it if it is in policxe reports or news reports, along with this we use a ton of photos, and aside from pulling tons of Sun paper reports on Baltimore's Auxiliary, we have several members still alive and had varified what we had already read (we are police so when we interview, we ask questions and make sure it matches what we know, we know not to say, did you pay $14 for your uniform, instead we ask what he paid for his uniform and get his to tell us $14 otherwise you end up with people just agreeing with info we provide and does us no good. I was awrded 6 Officer of the year awards, 4 for interview skillz, I was often told i was one of the best interviewers in the department, and I have that in writing from my Major. I love our History, want our men and women recognized for their work and often hel soread the word and correct rumor. Thanks again for your help... and again sorry for the misunderstandings, I honestly thought I may not have saved it correcctly because it was gone before it was posted and no one said anything, on topp of that it was Sunday so I did't think anyone would be online working the site, I wrote and asked for help to see if it was human or a computer error, and asked if I could talk to someone about it.. I am glad we got to talk/type thanks again KD

thanks again - Kenny

Hello BaltimoreCityPoliceHistory, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Auxiliary police has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also 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.
 * 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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.

 * Kenny — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaltimoreCityPoliceHistory (talk • contribs)
 * Hello Kenny, good to hear. First of all, please don't continue to add your content back to Auxiliary police without discussion after someone has already removed it. Such behaviour is called edit-warring (see WP:EDITWAR), and it is Wikipedia policy to discuss the change in that case, instead of getting into these add/delete cycles.
 * To donate your content to Wikipedia, relevant information may be found at WP:DONATEIMAGE. However, note that Wikipedia's license means that all content you add to it is made available to the world to freely reuse and modify. Your site probably needs to have a similar license on it for your such a contribution to work.
 * Another thing: your addition was probably reverted mainly because it was not formatted according to Wikipedia's formal tone (WP:TONE), and had no sources to back up your claims (WP:V). It would be best if you could address these shortcomings before you add your content to Wikipedia. Thank you for your understand, and I hope you choose to stay!
