:Hello, none of this section was AI generated. Some of it was borrowed from the 1st Indiana Volunteers ↗ and the 5th Indiana Volunteers ↗ which I have contributed to both pages before I had an account on here. The entire page had been edited by me and hand typed with citations before I submitted it. So I do not know why you are accusing me of using ChatGPT or AI, but this is not the case. I have contributed many new pages to Wikipedia including: Henning Von Minden ↗, Alfred Bruce Brackett ↗, and Asgrim Knutson Skaro ↗ among many others if you'd like to look at those for example of my writing style, but I have never used AI to create any of these pages. If you could please reconsider this course of action that would be great as I would like to have the article approved so that people can know abut Indiana's service during the Mexican-American War.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Frederick E. DuToit ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.

30px|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello HappyHistorian1862! Your additions to :Indian removals in Minnesota ↗ have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted ↗ content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain ↗ or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible ↗ copyright license—''to request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗''. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues. Here are the key points:

'''Limited quotation:''' You may only copy or translate a ''small'' portion of a source. Any direct quotations ↗ must be enclosed in double quotation mark ↗s (") and properly cited using an inline citation ↗. More information is available on the non-free content page ↗. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners ↗.

'''Paraphrasing:''' Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information ''in your own words''. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues ↗ and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing ↗. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources ↗ as appropriate.

'''Image use guidelines:''' In most scenarios, only freely licensed ↗ or public domain ↗ images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons ↗. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria ↗; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide ↗ may help with determining a file's eligibility.

'''Copyrighted material donation:''' If ''you'' hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you ''may'' be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗.

'''Copying and translation within Wikipedia:''' Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. For translation, see {{section link|Help:Translation|Licensing}}.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked ↗ from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.  <span class="nowrap">—<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span></span> <small>(<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>)</small> 04:45, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

CCI Notice

Hello, HappyHistorian1862. This message is being sent to inform you that a '''request has been filed''' at Contributor copyright investigations ↗ concerning your contributions to Wikipedia in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy ↗. The listing can be found here ↗. Thank you.  MmeMaigret (talk) 12:45, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

:Hello MmeMaigret,
:None of my edits have been deliberate in trying to use copywritten materials, if I have I apologize. I just wanted to say that plainly and be clear from the start. If I have issues with materials then I will remove them from the pages and edit them so they are not in violation. Although I am "new" with this account, I have been editing and contributing towards pages (primarily history pages) since January, 2025 or earlier before I made this formal account. Yes I am relatively new, but none of this has been deliberate to get in trouble or have issues with people, just negligent on my behalf. I would suggest that your read my other pages besides the 6 you have chosen, such as Judson Wade Bishop ↗ OR Edwin Aaron Clark Hatch ↗ which were both written by me before I had a formal account on here. In the meantime I will make edits or remove sections from the articles you have informed me about to correct them to be in-line with Wikipedia's Terms of Service. Thanks, and I hope I can keep editing and contributing towards WP. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 14:39, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Take all this attention (especially strong critique) as interest from others. If they didn't think it was any good, they wouldn't have spent so much time and trouble trying to see your work improve.

Battle of Fitzhugh's Woods

I had left a message that I accepted the article for creation with a B class assessment. Peacemaker67 had already accepted it as C class and, more importantly, was more careful than I was in noting that some of the citations are from web pages of questionable reliability. Some state history sites are carefully prepared and have editorial, often scholarly. oversight. On the other hand, some, as Peacemaker67 pointed out, are prepared by enthusiasts. These writers may not have based their entries on reliable sources and could be little more trustworthy as reliable sources than the average blogger. The key here is verifiability, which depends in large part on the credentials of the writers and their sources, not just their existence on line. Secondary sources are preferred, though occasionally primary sources can be used though maybe just as information when there are conflicting views in secondary sources. History magazines with editorial oversight and articles written by reliable sources can be reliable sources. Books often are.<br>
I apologize for a less thorough review and any confusion caused by it. I will note that it is not always correct to accept an "encyclopedia" at face value as an actual reliable source, which is what I did here without checking. I think I am usually more thorough and helpful. This is a reminder to me to continue to be more alert. I note that I am also open to change if someone notes that I have made a misjudgment or mistake. The best result, as quickly as possible, with change as necessary, is my goal. So I hope you can still ask questions to me in general, given opinions or question reviews about any of my assessments or reviews in the future. Welcome to Wikipedia and military history and keep up the good work. Donner60 (talk) 04:54, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

:Hello TheObsidianGriffon, thanks for the reply. I will make edits. Robert Burdick does meet the basics of WP:GNG ↗ because he is a political office holder (Deputy of the Rhode Island General Assembly) and an elected official of the colony of Rhode Island, not to mention a clergyman which meets the criteria for WP:CLERGY ↗. I know that the resources I have used are a lot of genealogical and state history books, but they do mention the candidate time and time again. I would believe this would at the very least constitute a stub article page similar to Rhode Island colonists like Tobias Saunders ↗. Thanks. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 22:03, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
::Hi {{re|HappyHistorian1862}} WP:GNG ↗ does not say any of what you said. WP:CLERGY ↗ says that bishops of major denominations, chief rabbis of nation states with large Jewish populations, and other heads of major denominations are presumed notable. If Burdick was a bishop of a major church (or held a higher title like an archbishop, pope, etc), that should be added to the page. TheObsidianGriffon (talk) 22:33, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Collaboration?

Hello! We've been in a lot of the same spaces in Minnesota history and I figure we could probably work together some. If you like, I can send you a list of some articles I would like written that are just a little out of the scope of what I'm working on at the moment. I'd also love to see if you have anything to add to some more recent articles I've finished, since I think you'd almost certainly have good info to add.

Let me know! Minnastronomer (talk) 22:04, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hi Minnastronomer,
:Yes, I'd definitely be interested, as long as you wouldn't mind proofreading and checking citations, etc. I've only been editing and writing articles on Wikipedia for a few months now, but I think I'm getting a lot better than when I originally started. A few hiccups here and there. We do indeed work on a lot of the same history, politics, and historical places articles, so I think working together would be better than working alone. Let me know what you had in mind and I will look into it. I've been trying to work recently on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota/List of wanted pages by topic ↗ as there's a few articles in there I could definitely edit or start. Thanks. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 22:33, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
::I won't mind any side quests sent my way.
::There are a few statewide officials that need biographies. I'm very pleased with the articles you've written on some others. The ones most in need of ones are Charles Scheffer ↗, David Blakeley ↗, Edwin W. Dyke ↗, Charles Kittelson ↗, Grace F. Kaercher ↗, and Walter J. Smith ↗. I'd also love if you found some info on Charles H. Roberts ↗, who was the last Greenback Party nominee for Gov. of MN, in 1881 ↗. Maybe he's not notable, Isaac C. Stearns ↗, the prohibition party candidate in that election, I think certainly is based on what I know about him. Let me know if you work on any of these, I guess I'd probably see them in the articles-for-creation tab anyways.
::If there's anything specific you want me to work on or review, please tell me, I will check it out. Minnastronomer (talk) 04:30, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Hi Minnastronomer,
:::I just finished the article for Edwin W. Dyke ↗, if you or another editor from WP:MINN ↗ want to look at it and verify its contents that would be much appreciated. Thanks. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Excellent article on Dyke, Blakeley too. Proving your value once again. I'll have to link them with the respective election pages, a project for when I'm with with the gubernatorial elections I'm currently overhauling. I'm at 1944 right now, so maybe in a month-or-so. Once again, very good work, I look forward to see more of your work. Minnastronomer (talk) 21:53, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::Minnastronomer,
:::::I just sent the article for Charles Kittelson ↗ to the mainspace. Please take a look at it when you have the time. In the meantime, I've already added Kittelson's image and article link to the table on the Minnesota State Treasurer ↗ article. Thanks. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 20:46, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::Great work once again. I created a redirect from 'Charles Kittleson' to Charles Kittelson ↗ since a few articles used the alternative spelling, but that's about it. Great work. Minnastronomer (talk) 21:49, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Minnastronomer,
:::::::Great news! I finally got around to creating the article for Grace F. Kaercher ↗, the first female Republican elected to a political office in the state of Minnesota. I have been waiting on this article for awhile. Whenever you have time to review it please do so at your own leisure. Thanks so much : ) HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 05:10, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::::Good work. I'll do a little work on it soon. Your work is thorough as always. Do you think you'll get to Isaac C. Stearns ↗ and Charles H. Roberts ↗ sometime soon too? Minnastronomer (talk) 06:28, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, HappyHistorian1862. This message concerns the Articles for Creation ↗ submission or draft ↗ page you started, "Big John McNeil ↗".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy ↗, and this one has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Big John McNeil|edit the submission}}, and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you read this, you can '''request its undeletion''' ↗. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the draft so you can continue to work on it.

Minor vs Major edits

Hey! Just wanted to let you know/remind that on Wikipedia, "minor edit" ↗ refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thanks! The guy not from ipanema (talk) 18:38, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

:Hi, did I forget to hit "minor edit ↗" on one of my recent contributions? I am pretty familiar at this point about superficial or small edits as a novice editor. If I end up doing anything major I usually highlight the category I've added to or fixed (I.E.: copy edits or spelling/ grammar). Thanks for the concern. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 18:44, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::I could be misreading the policy, but on Hero of the Nation (order) ↗ you added a medal recipient and tagged that as minor. Since I saw most of your edits were also marked minor I thought it was worth a message here. I do see you have a lot of experience though.. The guy not from ipanema (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Thanks for keeping me on my toes, I will be sure to add that next time, I do appreciate it. If you ever need help on here with edits/ revisions, please let me know. We are all on here to help one another. Thanks. HappyHistorian1862 (talk) 19:36, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::::Just wanted to say that I share The guy not from ipanema's concerns. You've marked a number of your non-minor edits as "minor". It's much better to not mark a minor edit as minor than to mark a non-minor edit as minor. In fact, you can skip using the "minor" checkbox entirely and it would not be a problem. <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span> <span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 19:38, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
