August 2016

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Plainview, Texas, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Additionally, when adding people to a list of notable residents, they need to be notable—which usually means they've had an article already written about them. —C.Fred (talk) 00:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

• Also, the notable people section is a list; there shouldn't be more than about one line of text for each person listed. Their article should provide the details. —C.Fred (talk) 01:02, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from other Wikipedia articles to Plainview, Texas (your addition has since been removed by another user). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:01, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
