Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Notability of Suzuki Shigeteru edit

 

A tag has been placed on Suzuki Shigeteru requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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. Willking1979 (talk) 20:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

October 2010 edit

You can't just add crackpot theories to articles without any sourcing whatsoever. I will be monitoring your edits until you can edit properly.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Japan, you may be blocked from editing. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:58, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

PLA, JSDF, Japan important things edit

I stumbled upon a few websites, like japanese-imperialism971.tk, globalfirepower.com, sino-defence.com, defence-aviation.com, gov.cn, etc. where I found information on the Chinese armed forces you might find interesting, moreover, Japan, I went on Japanese government, political, military, academic websites all ending with co.jp or .jp as well, all giving me the information that of which I put in the Japan article. Yet, I am sorry for not adding my citations or for complying with the criteria necessary. So give me one more chance moreover some more time, so I can recorrect myself with this. In addition, I raced through my editing as lately I do not have as much time as I used to have before 2 years ago when I could contribute more. This year I have my hands full with other things. Sorry. I will fix everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ALEXF971 (talkcontribs) 23:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

The point is, you have to actually put those sources in at the same time as your text. You can't expect people to guess where your text comes from.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 02:04, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article United States Air Force, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

  Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Soviet Air Forces. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. That's a huge number of aircraft, and definitely needs to be sourced. Sven Manguard Talk 02:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

 

The source you have been using: http://japanese-imperialism971.tk is not a reliable source. It is a wiki and is itself entirely unreferenced original research. Please read our policy on sources, the link is above in the warnings. Sven Manguard Talk 02:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

 These sources they told me they come from a site I am sure you know: www.globalfirepower.com; along with multiple other sources they told me I cannot know of. Yet global-firepower.com is where they got information on US Army, moreover, that is where I got the information for the 18,799 aircraft.

    Alex, you have to provide something else more reliable and verifiable such as a newspaper or defence journal to back up those exaggerated claims of yours. Moreover, citing a website that mix and match sources without attributing them properly or verified citations smells more like the work of a fan club or a military enthusiast than that of a professional military correspondent (or learned regular editors like us). No offence here but your edit has got to go. Best. --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 08:43, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

April 2011 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to People's Liberation Army, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Safiel (talk) 05:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Non-Free rationale for File:Lon Nol.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lon Nol.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:19, 29 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
