Ahh, a made up warning template, nice. I'm not saying anything either way about the validity of the article, I'm just telling you that you're

you're by definition in the wrong. Ironholds (talk) 23:31, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply

Seek consensus. Take it to the talk page and calmly discuss what's wrong with the article, using policy and guidelines to illustrate your points. If you can get some form of consensus going to delete/merge/redirect the article then brilliant, but if you can't then it's easier to walk away than continue arguing a moot point. Wikipedia works on a consensus model - essentially what the majority say, goes. If the majority are for you then nothing said 1 billion indians do can change that. If it's against you then you're just going to get sanctioned for continuing to argue. Either way establishing what the majority think about the article's validity seems to be the crux of the matter here. Ironholds (talk) 23:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AfD? They're not allowed to remove that, and it brings it to the attention of the wider community. Note that adding tags and proposing deletions is not considered discussion - engaging them on the talkpage is. If you do go for AfD, you must bring policy in.

Not

WP:AFD. AFDs cannot be removed for seven days (usually). Ironholds (talk) 00:00, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply

I note you didn't actually create an AFD. If you followed the proper process and used that page as an opportunity to explain your reasoning it might stave off the people trying to remove the tag. Ironholds (talk) 05:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:James hall III.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

"US Army" is an author/copyright holder, not a source. Is this from a website? A book? A newsletter? J Milburn (talk) 16:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to

talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

In regard to this edit [1], please limit your discussion to edits, not editors. Commenting on editors as you did can be seen as a violation of the

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories‎ are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. And I would like to echo the comment above by

File source problem with File:USDB2002.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:USDB2002.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the
