Your Article

Was in the wrong location. I moved it into your userspace at User:Collectimatic/Michael Adams. --Smashville^talk 19:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

"Call this reporter I know" is not an acceptable form of reference for an encyclopedia. Please read WP:CITE and WP:RS for guidance on proper citations and reliable sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nine Lessons of Light

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Nine Lessons of Light, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Nine Lessons of Light and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DVdm (talk) 13:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

The article has been deleted. I also have removed the references to it on Art education and Theory. DVdm (talk) 16:14, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Christo and Volz at the Gates, February 27, 2005.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Christo and Volz at the Gates, February 27, 2005.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 09:33, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Distant Early Warning Line

Happy New Year! You added some detail to the Distant Early Warning Line article, and the edit has some problems.

First, you marked the edit "minor", and it really doesn't seem to meet the criteria for such edits. From WP:MINOR:

A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. An edit of this kind is marked in its page's revision history with a lower case, bolded "m" character (m).

By contrast, a major edit is one that should be reviewed for its acceptability to all concerned editors. Any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it concerns a single word; for example, the addition or removal of "not" is not a minor edit.

Also, you didn't cite a source. That's probably moot, though, since the information you added was very specific and detailed, and a single visit by a USO troupe seems to fall into the category of WP:TOOMUCH. Normally, when I find these things, I correct them and move on, but the info was interesting, and I thought I should tell you why it's gone. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 21:22, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
