Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Omar al-Bashir has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Moving/merging

The article Toyota bB has been restored to its original position pending consensus for a merge, as another contributor objected. Please see Help:Merge for information on how to list the proposal for consensus. I see that after moving the article to its new name, you attempted to perform a merge yourself by pasting the contents of Scion xB into the article. This is called a "cut & paste move", and unless done correctly it creates licensing problems because it separates the text from its history, which is needed for attribution. If you wish to merge two articles together and there are no objections to the articles being merged, it is better to seek the assistance of an administrator as set out at Help:Merge who can properly combine the articles while still retaining the contribution history. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Myron Lowery

A tag has been placed on Myron Lowery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:19, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Remisc! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Gina Raemer - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Bing.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Bing.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 02:25, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Mtclemens.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Mtclemens.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 06:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 06:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gregory Eason

A tag has been placed on Gregory Eason 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.

Proposed deletion of Deputy Mayor of the City of Flint, Michigan

The article Deputy Mayor of the City of Flint, Michigan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Apparently non-notable (based on GHits/GNews search) political office.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 02:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Quinnie Cody

Do you have any references for this biographical article? Regards, PDCook (talk) 15:30, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Quinnie Cody

The article Quinnie Cody has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 16:00, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Quinnie Cody

This edit certainly seems like vandalism. I'm not sure why you'd do that to an article you created yourself, but I recommend against such actions in the future. Regards, P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 15:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

East Ridge, Tenn

Gina Raemer is not, and never has been, mayor of East Ridge. I haven't been able to find much about her at all, as searches bring up sites that directly quote your wiki entry. In fact, I haven't been able to find a single soul in the town with that surname.

File source problem with File:Cockrel.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Cockrel.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:11, 20 August 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 16:11, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Roseville, Michigan and 2000 Census

Dear Remisc, Your edit purported to change the numbers of the 2000 census to some other numbers. I don't know if the new numbers are accurate for the "2010 census", but the text as you left it indicated it was for 2000, and the numbers are plainly wrong for that year. That is why I reverted the edits. Since this was apparently a good faith mistake, I should have used "undo", and will do so in the future if and when I encounter similar problems from you. Please see the Roseville, Michigan talk page. In the future, please sign your posts with four tildes. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:33, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gina Raemer

The article Gina Raemer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mayor of fairly small settlement, unable to find any sources, possible hoax (see talk)

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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.

Be careful about Demographic section edits

Your edit to the Warren, Michigan demographics section gave the misleading impression that the 2000 ethnicity figures are the figures for 2010. You need to be careful to make sure that edits to population figures do not end up giving the impression that some figures belong to years that they do not infact belong to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Trolololololol.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Trolololololol.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

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 also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
