Atchison County Library
Hi there!

Is it alright if I move your article, Atchison County Library to the draftspace? That way it has a much smaller chance of being tagged for speedy deletion or proposed deletion and gives you a chance to work on the article and experiment. If not that, then i'd reccomend putting the tag on the top of your article -- it'll let other editors know that you're actively working on the article, should they not check the history.

Make sure you find sources, as well!

Hi, Cam!

That would be fine...I'm still getting my wiki sealegs.

Cheers,

Your edits
Hi there. I noticed you have been adding library names to a number of articles. Unfortunately, you seem to have added no sources to support your edits. Before you add more library names, will you be going back to the articles you've already edited to add a source? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:59, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Morgan County, Missouri, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:06, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Chariton County, Missouri. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:08, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Linn County, Missouri. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:09, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Magnolia677....

Thanks for the corrections...I'm still new to wikipedia and learning the ropes. Thanks for providing guidance. I will change my editing style to include the references as I go.

Cheers,

 * Hi, Welcome to Wikipedia. Some helpful guidelines to read for references are at WP:REFB and WP:RSE. Thanks. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 22:32, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome!

Thanks for keeping me from being blocked as a vandal. I'm still wet behind the ears and probably stepping on the toes of several long-time editors. But it's not done out of malice and is animated by a spirit of wanting to make Wikipedia a source for great library, archive, and museum information.

I feel I'm in a bit of a catch-22, however, and I will solicit your advice on the best way to proceed. Most of the public libraries in Missouri do NOT currently have an entry in Wikipedia. Should I create the individual entries before I add them to the individual county pages? Or should I add them to the county pages with the proper source citations? or does it matter greatly?

Cheers and many thanks, Mobrarian (talk) 23:23, 8 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Providing a notability template for you, which you might find helpful. When I was a fairly new editor, I did what you did but on a much larger scale.  I got it in my head that each county article in Texas needed an expanded history section.  So without asking anybody, I just started inserting large unsourced timelines (lists) into each article.  They all got deleted, and I was somewhat put off by the immediate deletions happening to me.  I survived, and so will you.  Wikipedia is learned one small step at a time, so don't sweat it.


 * As for the libraries, if nobody objects, you can do what you did on Tarkio, Missouri. But if you put them in a separate "See also" section, entries on those sections are always links to a Wikipedia article.  I've done a few libraries, but more for their historical value than what you might have in mind: Allan Shivers Library and Museum, Carnegie Public Library (Tyler, Texas).


 * You might want to browse through Category:Library buildings by year of completion to get an idea. There is WikiProject Libraries and WikiProject Missouri (I'm not sure how active they are). Maybe St. Louis Public Library is more the informative style you have in mind. Just make sure to source what you do, and you'll be fine. — Maile (talk) 11:59, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi again. That would be fine, but the following would be better:


 * The basic template is:


 * Remove whatever parameters you don't know (such as the "last" and "first" name of the author). Also, only fill in the access date if you don't have a publication date.  Cheers.  Magnolia677 (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

That's very helpful....I will keep that for permanent reference and use that format going forward. Sorry, if I've disrupted your day with enthusiastic editing. I'm still trying to comfortable with the editing and creation process. Wikipedia is a great project and I'm excited to be adding to it.

Cheers Mobrarian (talk) 23:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Don't hesitate to ask and I'll help if I can. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:58, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. :-) Mobrarian (talk) 00:00, 9 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Mobrarian! Have you tried using the visual editor? It really helps for adding citations. I can help you out with that if you'd like. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:11, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
