 * I am new to editing, my apologies for running afoul of any rules. WisdomRanger (talk) 18:05, 16 February 2024 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks. Please just stop editing for a while until the copyright violations can be taken care of. Adding more material that might be copyright protected just compounds the mess that the administrator will have to clean up. Thanks for your understanding and patience.  signed, Willondon (talk)  18:08, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Will do. I did just re-publish self-created information before I saw your latest message. Retained the section regarding "notable amenities and points of interest" and a book specifically about the local community. WisdomRanger (talk) 18:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

'''Do not remove a tag from an article. It is important''' that Wikipedia comply with laws governing copyright, and the tag is a marker for administrators to scrub the content that violates somebody's copyright. If you do not understand these policies, or simply continue to ignore them, you may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you ignore Wikipedia's legal compliance requirements. signed, Willondon (talk) 17:47, 16 February 2024 (UTC)


 * "Notable" has a specific meaning for Wikipedia. For example, a community article may have a "Notable residents" with a list of people. People are included only if there is an existing Wikipedia about them. When those articles exist the names are blue to indicate that there are Wikilinks. Same rule would apply to "points of interest". Also, no bolding of text within articles. David notMD (talk) 06:42, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
