Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

2nd Battalion 136th Infantry Regiment
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, 2nd Battalion 136th Infantry Regiment, may be copied from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/2-136in.htm. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 03:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

You erroneously deleted the page, if anything global security is guilty of plaguerism. - 2nd Battalion 136th Infantry Regiment (CAB) Official Historian

Speedy deletion nomination of 2nd Battalion 136th Infantry Regiment


A tag has been placed on 2nd Battalion 136th Infantry Regiment requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/2-136in.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 "Click here to 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.

The article was a copyright violation of this site. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. In this case, the website asserts Copyright © 2000-2013 GlobalSecurity.org All rights reserved. If you wish to donate your text to Wikipedia, you need either
 * To show us where the text was previously published under a Public Domain or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported licence, so we know Global Security is infringing your licence.
 * To sort out with Global Security why they are displaying your page with an incorrect licence, and get them to change it to a licence we can use

As it stands, the only site I am aware of that contains the text, Global Security, also claims all rights. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Note that some military units publish on US federal websites, which are always public domain. I don't know if this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  19:19, 18 October 2013 (UTC) I hope this clarifies,  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  19:19, 18 October 2013 (UTC)


 * The other alternative is that you could rewrite the information in your own words, as suggested above. You may not want to put the time in to do this, especially as the new text would have to me substantially different from the original, and not just a close paraphrase  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:03, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
