Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Randy Stoltmann article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! -- ReyBrujo 18:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. There is currently only one article linking to Randy Stoltmann (see here), and no pages linking to Jaswinder Kaur Sidhu (see here). Note that a single link in an encyclopedia that has over one million articles is considered linkless. Personally, any article that has less than 5 incoming links in the article namespace (that is, 5 or less articles linking to it) is considered linkless. Others believe at least 10 incoming link should exist. Note that the {{ linkless}} template reads There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. As I said, 5 is considered very few, although others think 10 is very few. Hope that clarifies the matter -- ReyBrujo 19:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Please don't discuss my employment on Wikipedia. It's irrelevant, and a violation of policy (personal attack) and civility. If you honestly believe that I've libelled you (assuming you are who I claim you are, which you haven't acknowledged), then please go ahead and take legal action against me.

I have reverted this edit to Rachel Marsden ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), as it added unreferenced controversial information concerning a living person to a Wikipedia article, in violation of Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Remove_unsourced_or_poorly_sourced_contentious_material. Note that per this policy, the removal of the offending material is exempted from the three revert rule, and that your account may be blocked if you continue to add the material to the article in unreferenced form. Please do not restore this material without providing an acceptable reference. Additionally, this edit placed a personal attack against the subject of the article in the edit summary, likewise in violation of the biographies of living persons policy. Please refrain from utilizing such language in future edit summaries. John254 04:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on McKendree Spring requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thanks for uploading File:Rafe Mair.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I believe the Escudos de Oaxaca y Tamazunchale contain sufficient "original artwork" that they fall outside the scope of "generic geometric shapes and letters"; therefore I wasn't going to try to get it onto the commons. However, if a photo of a shield or seal is taken in an area generally accessable to the public, then Mexican law regarding Freedom of Panorama may very well allow it to be placed on the commons. My problem is that the current seal was just released and its not replaced the previous (albeit similar) seal in public venues. Things in Oaxaca move at a snails pace...

I noticed that a message you recently left to 24.80.104.82 may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. Thank you.

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. Mifter ( talk) 05:43, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Errol Povah is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Mifter ( talk) 06:07, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

The article Airspace Action on Smoking and Health has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Through newspapers.com, found a bunch of classified ads and "letters to the editor" by group members, but no WP:SIGCOV
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
