Please do not add or change content, as you did at Thomas Hooker, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 02:34, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

None of the listed people on the Thomas Hooker page (that are descendants) have footnotes citing sources. All of the people I have added to the descendants list are clearly descendants when one clicks on the hyperlink that brings you to their page. Please advise on how to cite these new additions.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Thomas Hooker into Draft:Hooker Family. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:48, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with...I am trying to add some more family members / descendants to the Thomas Hooker wikipedia page. None of the existing listed family members / descendants on the page have footnotes citing sources. All of the people I have added to the descendants list are clearly descendants when you click on the hyperlink that brings you to their respective wikipedia page. Please advise on how to cite these new additions. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Hooker family


A tag has been placed on Draft:Hooker family requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://digitalpuritan.net/thomas-hooker/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read! Talk! 18:03, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
