Unfortunately, I've felt obliged to revert your last edit to the Mount Vernon article because much of your contribution was a word-for-word copy of the text in "Travel Washington, DC: Travel Guide Illustrated with Maps and Photographs", which I must suppose to be a copyright work. Please take time to read Wikipedia:Copy-paste which is intended to give simple guidance on how to write for Wikipedia without violating other people's copyright, or unintentionally committing plagiarism (which is passing off another's work as your own). In its simplest terms if I can find a phrase like "came into possession of the land from which Mount Vernon plantation would be carved"
in both your text and the source, then you're paraphrasing too closely to claim that you're writing in your own words.
As some of the organisational changes you made are clearly worth looking at (e.g. moving the Washington's Tomb section to a subsection of grounds), I'd suggest you start a discussion on Talk:Mount Vernon to garner some other opinions and seek to make changes in small chunks, getting feedback at each stage - too many changes in a single edit makes it very difficult for other interested editors to discuss what you are trying to do. --RexxS (talk) 18:53, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Earl of Mar may have broken the syntax by modifying 4 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
