FYI: I've reverted your most recent edit in the history section of the Mirro article. The information you brought into the article was a copy and paste of information from their website. This constitutes a copyright violation and can't be valid for the article. You can use the information there as a source, but you can't copy their exact wording.

:Unfortunately, your revised edits are also violation of copyright policies, particularly the idea of [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]. We can't just reword slightly and count it as original writing based on the source. [[User:Only|only]] ([[User talk:Only#top|talk]]) 01:55, 25 January 2015 (UTC) |

And related to Mirro, I have to remind you of edit warring as your reverts with the infobox on the article are edit warring at the moment. I'll provide an official template here so you can read through some of the policies: |
|||
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|left|alt=|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]  according to the reverts you have made on [[:Mirro Aluminum Company]]. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus-building in talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[Wikipedia:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]] rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.<br> |
|||
Please be particularly aware that [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|Wikipedia's policy on edit warring]] states: |
|||
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'''. |
|||
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.''' |
|||
In particular, editors should be aware of the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, '''breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]]'''. |
|||
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. <!-- Template:uw-ew -->.

Welcome!

Sylvanus Wade
Hi-I checked whether Sylvanus Wade served in the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature or the Wisconsin State Legislature and Wade did not served in either. Wade did served on the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors. Had Sylvanus Wade served in the Wisconsin territorial and state legislatures an article could had been started. I am not sure how Sylvanus Wade would be notable to have an article. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 13:09, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, the Inn he built was much more famous that he was. Almost all of the old newspapers about the Inn almost never mention Sylvanus himself. Nyth83 (talk) 13:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

N-News Magazine link on N Series Tractor wiki page
I am new to doing editing on Wikipedia - I am more of a hands on guy that collects old tractors and I thought having some other sources of information besides tractor data was a good idea. I have been a subscriber to the N-News for years. It has been published for a long time and I thought it was a positive external link - at LEAST as good as tractor data AND - I don't think there are any external ads on the N-News website the way Tractordata has.
I did look at the guides for external link (though I will admit, AFTER I made the edit) but I don't see why you feel it is inappropriate to sight an external source of additional information on a subject that has a long history.
let me know
Thanks
