Ordnance Corps (United States Army)
Brigadier General David Wilson is not an appropriate way to add a link; see Piped link. The reference [5] directly after the name is a link to the same web page. --21lima (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chief of Ordnance of the United States Army


A tag has been placed on Chief of Ordnance of the United States Army 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://www.alu.army.mil/alog/2012/mayjun12/html/history_ordance.html. 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 removed 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.

Your edit to Fort Gregg-Adams has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2023 (UTC)


 * The sections deleted were sourced from the Army's official page of Fort Gregg-Adams history, not the website you quoted in your remarks. In fact, that website copied it from the government webpage which is in the public domain, and then put their own moniker on it, as if it was theirs, which it is not. The material used was in the public domain. Ordnancehistory (talk) 14:10, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the mistake. In the future, if you could please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks,  — Diannaa (talk) 18:31, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the template. Will do. Appreciate the help! Cheers. Ordnancehistory (talk) 18:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as United States Army Combined Arms Support Command. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
