Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Pages must contain more than images; they must have text explaining what the subject is and how it is notable 331dot (talk) 12:04, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * That is a bit rude 331dot! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * There was no intention of being rude, simply to attempt to talk to someone seemingly not aware of their user talk page. 331dot (talk) 12:42, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I suppose that you are limited to what the template says, but this one is really for people editing as a vandal or to disrupt. Anyway I have moved all but one of the pages to draft. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Uploading images
Thank you for uploading some great images! Don't feel you have to create an empty placeholder article to put them in, though - by uploading them to Wikimedia Commons with clear descriptions, those photos will stay online permanently, and other editors will be able to use them in articles (both existing and new ones) when the need arises.

If you want to help illustrate Wikipedia, perhaps look around for existing articles which are lacking images, and which your photos could be used to illustrate? --McGeddon (talk) 12:17, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Empty articles
I am moving your articles with no text to drafts, so that you can have time to write some accompanying text. see Draft:Mississippi Foundry and Machine Company Building, Draft:Tanglewood (Clinton, Mississippi), Draft:Downtown Fondren Historic District, Draft:Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs, Draft:Belhaven Heights Historic District and Draft:East Clinton Historic District.
