Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Clarkston, Georgia, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

Stone Mountain reversion
Hi there, I noticed you reverted my change to Stone Mountain, Georgia which removed the history section. I removed the history section because it appeared to have been copied verbatim from the city of Stone Mountain's web site which would in all likelihood be a violation of copyright (see Copy-paste). If you know that it's not a copyright violation please explain why it is not on the article's talk page so that nobody removes it in error. Thanks. --holizz (talk) 23:13, 13 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Disregard the above. I have discovered that the text appears to have been originally contributed to Wikipedia, and subsequently copied to the city's Web site, rather than the other way around (see the section on the talk page I created). Sorry for the mistake, and for deleting the text in the first place. --holizz (talk) 03:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
