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 George F. Sternberg, 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:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 23:48, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, Diannaa. I understand the concept and made edits inside the section I pasted in, plus also cited the source. However, I will be more careful in the future about this type of addition to pages. I appreciate the time you took to explain Wikipedia's policies. MelTeeEditing (talk) 20:49, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I have a question about submitting old scanned articles. The articles appeared in print, such as in old newspapers, but they are not available on the internet. Is it permissible to scan the article and upload the PDF to support the given citation? If so, is that done within the article footnote? Please advise, and thanks!MelTeeEditing (talk) 23:22, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Melanie

 * @Greenman - Thank you for your feedback. I have deleted all refereces to the museum's own website and also the ad-sounding descriptions in the content. This is a legitimate place for tourists to visit, so I left the contact info at the bottom (which includes the website), since that is similar to other wikipedia pages that are legitimate tourist sites. Also, the activities of the owners are well documented (appearance on the NOVA series, for example), so I left those kinds of sources. Please reconsider this submission. Let me know if I need to place it somewhere else for reconsideration. Thanks MelTeeEditing (talk) 12:24, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MelTeeEditing. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. ''You seem to be writing a lot about the Bonners and their museum. Do you have a connection you need to disclose?'' Star   Mississippi  01:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * my error, you disclosed it but you overwrote it. As the article didn't belong on your user page so I've removed and left the disclosure to save others asking for the same. Star   Mississippi  01:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Star Mississippi - Thank you so much for your help MelTeeEditing (talk) 12:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Happy to. Let me know if I can help in any other ways. Star   Mississippi  13:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Star Mississippi, hope you had a nice holiday. I have a question -- The article title included Bonner's full name. Is there a way I can add a tag so that a search for just his first and last name -- Marion Bonner -- brings readers to the article? MelTeeEditing (talk) 13:16, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @MelTeeEditing. Marion Bonner now redirects to the article. Thanks for flagging. Star   Mississippi  18:54, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
