Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to The Age, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Herald Sun. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Bidgee (talk) 09:34, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Your addition to Catholic Diocese of the Australian Defence Force has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Nick-D (talk) 03:16, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did to The Age, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have also been warned before about adding unsourced content Bidgee (talk) 09:02, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. --VirtualSteve need admin support? 11:34, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
The article Max Leroy Davis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non notable person
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:11, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
