Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as 119th Field Artillery Regiment. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — 🎆 Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:26, 1 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Dianna. Thank you for your comments on my talk page in regards to the 119th Field Artillery Regiment. I am aware of the issue you mention and I've been editing the page daily. I will make sure to address these issues. Most of what I've been taking has been paraphrased (I make changes to sentences) however, I will acknowledge I have not finished checking what needs to be cited better but rest assured it will all be taken care of. The content is in a state of flux as I keep finding more accurate and better source material. Boston1775 (talk) 20:13, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe I have taken care of this issue. I checked the list of templates and found none that would apply to the military sources I used. However, I just cut and pasted your edit to the works where I used less paraphrasing and sometimes just copied material making sure the work is in the public domain.

Syntax for referring to files
When referring to files, you can stick a colon (":") at the front to create a link to the file instead of causing the file to display. For example you could type File:Croix de guerre 1914-1918 with silver star and bronze palm from World War I.jpg to get a link like this ==> File:Croix de guerre 1914-1918 with silver star and bronze palm from World War I.jpg which makes responding to your queries about files easier. -- Whpq (talk) 21:47, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Was trying to figure out how to do that. I usually just try to read the html code on a page to see what they did but that one had me stumped. Thanks again. Boston1775 (talk) 22:29, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
