Proposed deletion of KONTAKT
A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
KONTAKT, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Dhartung | Talk 04:33, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ahh, a made up warning template, nice. I'm not saying anything either way about the validity of the article, I'm just telling you that you're
edit-warring in such a way that you're likely to get hit with the heavy end of the banhammer. "I was supporting The Truth" is never an excuse, and if you're edit-warring with five different people
you're by definition in the wrong.

- Seek consensus. Take it to the talk page and calmly discuss what's wrong with the article, using policy and guidelines to illustrate your points. If you can get some form of consensus going to delete/merge/redirect the article then brilliant, but if you can't then it's easier to walk away than continue arguing a moot point. Wikipedia works on a consensus model - essentially what the majority say, goes. If the majority are for you then nothing said 1 billion indians do can change that. If it's against you then you're just going to get sanctioned for continuing to argue. Either way establishing what the majority think about the article's validity seems to be the crux of the matter here.

- Tried WP:AfD? They're not allowed to remove that, and it brings it to the attention of the wider community. Note that adding tags and proposing deletions is not considered discussion - engaging them on the talkpage is. If you do go for AfD, you must bring policy in.

Thanks for uploading File:James hall III.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:53, 28 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn ( talk) 15:53, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- "US Army" is an author/copyright holder, not a source. Is this from a website? A book? A newsletter? J Milburn ( talk) 16:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

In regard to this edit [1], please limit your discussion to edits, not editors. Commenting on editors as you did can be seen as a violation of the policy on personal attacks. Dayewalker ( talk) 21:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a
general rule, talk pages such as
Talk:Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories are for discussion related to improving the article,
not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting
our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.
And I would like to echo the comment above by
Dayewalker, making edits like
this(along with a lot of your edits on various conspiracy related article talk pages, is going to cause you problems on Wikipedia. I closed the discussion and removed the personal attack.

Thank you for uploading File:USDB2002.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
