Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Light Brahma, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 14:05, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Light Brahma while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Light Brahma

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Light Brahma. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Brahma chicken. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Brahma chicken. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Melcous (talk) 14:12, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Just to add a bit to the above: the light Brahma is not a breed as such, but one of the three colour variants of the Brahma recognised by the APA (the others being dark and buff). Their listing is here. We don't maintain separate articles on colour variants, so I've redirected the page to the main topic – sorry about that! It may well be that some of what you wrote could be added to that article instead. The page hasn't been deleted, so you can still access previous versions of the page via the "view history" tab. In any case, do please consider joining WikiProject Poultry, a pitifully small group of editors interested in improving poultry articles – I'm one of them.

Proposed deletion of Abraham Lincoln Black Hawk War Land Grant

The article Abraham Lincoln Black Hawk War Land Grant has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A Google map location is not sufficient title to notability.

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.
