Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Bob Andrzejczak. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Bnml84, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and 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 the 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 legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also 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.  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:23, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Display name 99 (talk) 01:47, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I'll supplement the templated messages posted above by saying that while I don't always add edit summaries when I add content to articles or change MY OWN writing (although it never hurts to do so), using edit summaries is absolutely necessary if you ever remove or alter anybody else's work. This allows us to know what exactly you're doing and your reason for doing it. If you can't find a reason to do something like, say, changing the lead image in an article aside from just your own personal preference, it's probably best not to make the edit. Please keep these things in mind. Display name 99 (talk) 01:52, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1847 New Jersey gubernatorial election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Wright ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/1847_New_Jersey_gubernatorial_election check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/1847_New_Jersey_gubernatorial_election?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of 218th New Jersey Legislature


A tag has been placed on 218th New Jersey Legislature requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Nomination of Deletation for Dawn Fantasia
There are plenty Wikipedia articles for many local and, arguably, unnoteable officials. In fact many Wikipedia articles exsist for Former Members of NJ's General Assembly with minimal information, and they have not been deleted. So why must that standard be applied here and not elsewhere? Bnml84 (talk) 12:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Removal of content while "creating" article for Stephen M. Sweeney
I reverted this edit to the article for Stephen M. Sweeney, which removed much of the article and had the edit summary stating "I created the article", though it has existed for more than a decade. Was there an error here or wasthere a justification for removing the content? Alansohn (talk) 14:33, 8 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I made an error while explaining my edit to the page, it was supposed to be a general clean up of the article. Bnml84 (talk) 14:46, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If cleanup was intended, can you explain why a significant percentage of the text of the article was removed? Alansohn (talk) 14:51, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't believe that awards and recognition where noteworthy and the descriptions of the elections where self explanatory. Bnml84 (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
