hey from thewolfstar

Da Stressor, just saying 'hey', and I read some of the Malcolm X article. I like the article, but I would like to add more. He is one of my most respected Americans along with Daniel Shays, Henry David Thoreau, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, and others. I like what somebody said on their user page about not tolerating rascism. and it pointed to Malcolm X article. My sentiments exactly and that's how I feel about anyone who tries to take away my freedom like the current U.S. Socialist-Fascist state, the current One World Government, or any opressive regime.

Liberian Humane Order of African Redemption

Hi. I noticed that you added several people on my watchlist (e.g., W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington) to the category related to this Order. I improved the category sort for the article and put the related categories into appropriate categories. Let me know if you have any questions about the changes I made.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:04 kwanzaa37 d.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:04 kwanzaa37 d.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 03:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:04 kwanzaa37 d.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:04 kwanzaa37 d.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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 19:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Repost of Category:Autodidacts

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Autodidacts, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Autodidacts was previously deleted as a result of an articles for deletion (or another XfD)

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Autodidacts, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Image:061401r.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:061401r.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chesnutt stamp.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Chesnutt stamp.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

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. ww2censor (talk) 04:17, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
