How do I change the heading from my user name to the title of the page

not sure what you mean there boss - please give more details, or youcould try writing {{helpme}} above your question. pablohablo.

How do I upload the JSKA logo

look to your left - there should be a "toolbox" section withan option "Upload file" in it. Read the information very carefully, you cannot upload anything that is copyright, and by uploading (just like by contributing text) you are giving away all rights to the material for ever (the legal mumbo-jumbo phrases it slightly differently but that's the gist). pablohablo.


If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Japan Shotokan Karate Association, you may have a conflict of interest.

If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Your userpage incicates that you are George Carruthers. pablohablo. 21:26, 21 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

The main thing is to get references from other sources - all yours are from JKGA sites round the world. So mentions in Shotokan Karate Magazine (if it's still going!) or even mentions from the JKA site about the split would be good - interviews with Abe in sports publications/websites, news stories about the JKSA - all good.
Martial art organisations tnd to be self-regulating (in order to hang on to the mat fees as much as possible) but if the JKSA is affiliated to any other organisation you might find some useful references there. Good luck! pablohablo. 11:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of George CARRUTHERS

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article George CARRUTHERS, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Lacks indication of why this person is notable.

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.

Speedy deletion of Charles GIDLEY

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Charles GIDLEY 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.

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 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. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 19:30, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
