Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Antioch Christian Church (Allendale, South Carolina), may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

Hello Diannaa, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I apologize for the copyright violation in my recent edit to "Antioch Christian Church (Allendale, South Carolina)". I understand the importance of respecting copyright on Wikipedia and assure you that I will be more careful in rephrasing content from external sources in the future. My intention was to add factual information to the article, and I will ensure that any future contributions are written entirely in my own words to avoid such issues. Thank you again for the helpful reminder and for your understanding. Sincerely, Gyða1981 ~~~~ Gyða1981 (talk) 23:55, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinking

Hey, I noticed you're doing a lot of linking. You may want to have a read of Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking so you know the expectations for wikilinks, I noticed for example you link years a lot which wouldn't be following the MOS. Sometimes you link things that don't need to be linked, a shopping mall article doesn't need to link to the article for shoes. D1551D3N7 (talk) 00:22, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the feedback! I appreciate you pointing this out — I'm still getting used to the linking guidelines and trying to contribute usefully. I’ll make sure to be more selective with what I link from now on. Thanks again for helping me improve!
