Greetings
I am quite busy during tax season so bear with me. I generally do not directly respond to e-mails from new editors but I have read both of them. I will respond to you here when I have more time. -- Dolotta (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

You mentioned uploading pictures to Henderson, Iowa. Royalbroil is quite knowledgeable with photography issues. He might be of more assistance than me in that arena. -- Dolotta (talk) 20:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I saw that what you were attempting to add was blocked by what Wikipedia calls an "edit filter." I just spent 15 minutes or so trying to look up your Nishna Valley News reference through my Newspapers.com subscription but have been unable to find it. -- Dolotta (talk) 01:00, 14 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for looking. I have the document. It's a effort to publish a small town news sheet.  I see no copyright information on it. In 1962 I doubt they were worried about copyright. They probably just wanted to circulate the news. They did sell adds, but I don't think their effort lasted very long.  The Library of Congress has a single page listing the effort, but even they have no information about the publisher or even how long the effort lasted.  It seems to me, there ought to be a way to include information like this with the caveat that if someone comes along and claims a violation, the document will be removed.  I just don't have a clue how to make all this happen.  Thanks again for taking time during busy tax season.  There is no rush on accomplishing the edit.  I'd just like to see the correction made eventually.   Tdhia (talk) 12:46, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * First of all, the information in newspapers is copyrighted - even if it was small and short-lived. You can't upload an image of it and claim to assign a copyright of "Public Domain". The copyright is not yours to assign. That image will need to be deleted. Second, but that don't mean that the information from the source can't be used to add content to an article. This content was published from a reliable source (in my humble opinion). Under WP:AGF (assume good faith), it is assumed that you are holding the cited source of the content - so the content can be used based on your word. Third, I noticed that you had copied the source word for word. That is plagiarism which is certainly not allowed. You need to reformulate the content in your own words. I don't understand how you tripped that edit filter. I've never seen or heard of edit filters before and I've been volunteering for 14 years! I took an attempt at what I think you were trying to do. How does this look? Is the "Church of Christ" mean Latter Day Saints or one of the other meanings of the term?  Royal  broil  01:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
