Long Creek, Illinois
Hi there, I wanted to further explain why I removed your recent additions to Long Creek, Illinois. A few sentences of your text appear verbatim at the source you cited (https://macon.illinoisgenweb.org/longcrek.html). Wikipedia takes copyright issues very seriously; a few sentences isn't a huge violation, but still shouldn't happen. In addition, much of the content you added did not appear at that source. Including one source at the end of a huge paragraph isn't super useful - the source should appear after the statements it applies to. Where did you get the rest of your information? If I can help with anything, just let me know. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 19:16, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Macon County Sheriff’s Office moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Macon County Sheriff’s Office, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  20:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
