Krio people category
Hi there,
I am not sure that the Krio people category can be substantiated. Do you have a source saying that each of them is Krio? I wrote several of the articles you tagged with it and one specifically, Thomas Peters, does not fit. Krio were the descendants of freed slaves that settled in Sierra Leone. Thomas Peters, however, founded Freetown and died shortly thereafter.--

Welcome to Wikipedia editing! See welcome message above. Some of our rules may not be obvious, but we don't use other people's copyrighted work. It appears that some or all of the article Nova Scotian Maroons that you posted on 28 February 2007 is copied from "The Jamaican Maroons" on the official web-site of the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia. If you have a valid license to the material: First you need to put the hangon template on the article so that it won't get deleted. See the instructions at the top of the article. Second you need to present the GNU Free Documentation License or the author's release into the public domain to the Wikipedia administrators. See, for starters Wikipedia:Copyrights#Using copyrighted work from others. Normally the easiest way to establish valid licensing is to have the author place on his or her website one of the licensing release statements. See also, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission and especially What to do when permission is confirmed. --Bejnar 17:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry Bejnar I tried to rephrase the information I gathered from the website and added some words of my own-I do apologize for any indiscrepancies I may have caused over an article I believe will improve wikipedia. —The preceding ]
- I agree that an article on the Jamaica maroons who were taken to Nova Scotia and then Sierra Leone would be a valuable addition to the Wikipedia and I appreciate the effort that you have gone to. I would stress, however, the words of the template: "Note that simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement — it is best to write the article from scratch." It is also good to get information from multiple reliable sources when writing an article. Often this means book research (not original research) in a university library with access to published periodical indexes. It is seldom a good idea to write an article just from Internet available sources. Lastly, I would not that some of the sentences in the original article such as "The Maroons proved themselves to be excellent fighters" are classic POV statements, and if they are to be used in an encyclopedic article, they require direct citation to a specific, reliable source. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources and especially Exceptional claims require exceptional sources. Good luck. --Bejnar 18:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please follow the rules. The copyright violation notice said expressly "Do not edit this page until an administrator has resolved this issue. To write a new article without infringing material, follow this link to a temporary subpage." Yet today you removed the copyvio template and edited the page. Are there extenuating circumstances? You may answer here. --Bejnar 02:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

You can see the change here, what I did was I took something from your list of sources and put it between <ref> and </ref> which tells the system to make that a footnote. Basically, you can put facts you'd like to cite between reference tags like that, I'll clean up the references so they are in a more readable style, as I did the Scotsman reference (you can do that, too, if you like).

Proof that Thomas Peters (black leader) was an Igbo?
What is your proof that Thomas Peters of Sierra Leone fame was born in Nigeria and was an Igbo? I started the article and never found that information, so what do you have that says so? One source says "He was born a slave in the North American colonies and worked in his master's flour mill in North Carolina." while another says that "legend has it" that he was born in West Africa, but the first evidence comes from him in North Carolina. I am going to remove your incorrect information--
- I am not disagreeing that he was African-American, but you created 2 overlapping, redundant categories (Black Loyalist and African-American Loyalists) which have nearly the same information. Therefore, one of them should be deleted and I removed the one most likely to be so. Also, the two online sources, including one by the govt of SL says he was born in North Carolina, so I think we should go with that one.--Thomas.macmillan 16:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)]
Black Loyalists
Firstly, if you need to move a page to one that already exists you need to submit a move request. Secondly, It's the generally accepted practice to use the term in common use in historical documents and failing that the term that was in use at the time. Black Loyalists are referred to in scholarly work as Black Loyalists, not as African American Loyalists. And even if they weren't, they certainly weren't called African American loyalists then because 1. No one was an American then. 2. Even if there were Americans then, Black's certainly weren't. 3. The term African American didn't come into wide use until the late 1970s. 4. To someone unfamiliar with the nuances of the English language X-American loyalist might imply that these were people loyal to the American side when they were in fact loyal to the British. Please don't make these types of changes again without seeking a consensus on the article's talk page. Thanks. CJ 02:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, You say I'm wrong. Please provide sufficient sources that list Black Loyalists as African American Loyalists and I'll remove my objection to the page being moved. But it still needs to go through a formal move request so that the article history is preserved. CJ 02:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Just because I've reverted your edits doesn't mean a consensus can't be reached in your favor. And I can certainly appreciate your sentiments. If you can find sources to document your claims then as I said, I'm more than willing to withdraw my objection to the edits going forward. The article isn't going anywhere. Also, don't feel as though you can't contribute to this or any other article. I'm sure that as a descendant of these people you can surely offer other insights besides terminology.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
It is an anachronism and a neologism to refer to "African American Loyalists". I don't know whether British colonists were referred to as Americans, but certainly enslaved Africans would not have been referred to as "African Americans".
Are there any reliable sources that use the phrase? A quick look at the footnotes and external links suggests otherwise: Black Loyalist Directory, blackloyalist.com, Black Loyalist Heritage Society.
Please see
"Black loyalists" gets 37,600 Google hits. "African American loyalists" gets 86. I think the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate why "African American loyalists" is superior to "Black loyalists". — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 02:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- They were "Black loyalists". Calling them "African American loyalists" is an attempt to use a 20th century phrase to describe people of the 18th century. They were enslaved Africans in Colonial America, but they were not "African Americans". In order to be an "African American" one must be an American, which is an identity that British colonists in North America may not have assumed at that point, and most certainly is an identity that their enslaved Africans didn't have.
- In any event, it doesn't matter what you or I want to call them. Wikipedia's naming conventions say that article titles should use "the most common name of a person or thing". I've indicated above that "Black loyalists" seems to be a much more common name than "African American loyalists". Can you demonstrate that "African American loyalists" is more commonly used than "Black loyalists"? — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 06:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)]

- I don't think an article from 1999 that uses the phrase African American a grand total of three times, twice as a neologism, justifies using it that way in a wikipedia article. It doesn't prove that African American was a term in use at that time. It only demonstrates that the author made the same error you want to.

Please stop your disruptive editing. It is doubtful that any Black Loyalists were "born in the United States", as you wrote, since they were born before the American Revolution. Please stop reverting changes that have been made by consensus, and don't re-create categories that have been closed after discussion. If you would like to change consensus, please post your messages at Talk:Black Loyalist. It would be helpful if you could provide contemporary sources that suggest Black loyalists were referred to as African Americans. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 04:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message, and especially for providing sources for the use of the phrase "African American" with respect to Black Loyalists. You're right: the British source refers to Black loyalists as African Americans and the Nova Scotian source refers to "enslaved African Americans".
- You are also right about Simon Schama. On pages 5-6 of Rough Crossings: Britain, The Slaves and The American Revolution (2006), he writes that "Tens of thousands of African-Americans clung to the sentimental notion of a British freedom even when they knew that the English were far from being saints in respect to slavery." He uses the phrase to describe several people in his book and uses the phrase at least a dozen times. (Although I note that Rough Crossings refers to "enslaved Africans". )
- I've never heard of Cassandra Pybus, but Epic Journeys of Freedom: Runaway Slaves of the American Revolution and Their Global Quest for Liberty was published by a reputable publisher and has an foreword by Ira Berlin. She writes on page 84 of "African American and African Caribbean men, often runaway slaves, joining ships heading for England", and on page 104 she refers to the British "facilitating the flight of enslaved African Americans".
- Frankly, I think it's anachronistic to use a modern term (African American) to describe people who were considered sub-human by (white) "Americans". In its Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court rightly summarized what the founders of the United States thought of people of African descent:
- It is difficult at this day to realize the state of public opinion in relation to that unfortunate race, which prevailed in the civilized and enlightened portions of the world at the time of the Declaration of Independence, and when the Constitution of the United States was framed and adopted. ... They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit.
- I cannot imagine that any people of African of descent, free or enslaved, were considered "Americans". But I won't continue to argue the point with you. If you don't mind, I would like to copy our messages to Talk:Black Loyalist to explain the use of the phrase "African American" in the article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 05:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry that we've misunderstood one another. It's never been my intention to question whether Black Loyalists were in any way different from Blacks who ended up in the United States. Of course they were the same; I can easily imagine that circumstances led to the break-up of some families between the United States and Canada.
- My objection to the use of the term "African American" was related to an on-going debate, in the real world and among Wikipedia editors, about whether the word "African American" is appropriate to describe any enslaved person, or any person of African descent, before Reconstruction. Many editors, including me, use "enslaved Africans" because we don't believe "African American" is appropriate.
- Again, I'm sorry that I misunderstood your point, and that this disagreement led me to accuse you of being disruptive. I hope that we can work together harmoniously in the future. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism April 2008
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Sierra Leone Creole people, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. T L Miles (talk) 00:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry I mistook your edits for vandalism, but I do have a couple of issues. If you're going to remove huge chunks of an article (it went from 55,591 bytes to 5000 bytes), you really should discuss it on the talk page first, give it a bit, and then do your business. Of course if something is uncited, libelous, etc, you should remove it quickly. But why remove half someone's biography? As a collaboration you don't have to be responsible for everything, and if an editor wants to remove your citations, s/he should get consensus on talk and do it his/her self. You seem to be removing big bits of lotsa articles, without discussion or an edit summary, or frankly without any pattern I can see. Perhaps you should take a deep breath and not worry about what someone told you you had to do.
- Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources. You can read it and make up your own mind, but I see nothing about citing too many sources, if you actually use them. There's no mandate to use inline citations, though they are recommended for figures and specific facts. If someone told you different, I would suggest they're being a bit of a jerk.
- And because wikipedia is a collaboration, we all need to discuss stuff, explain stuff, and sign our talk additions with four tildes. Take a look at Help:Edit summary and Help:Editing. And finally, with a grain of salt, Ignore all rules. Hope this helps, and good luck! T L Miles (talk) 04:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

- I must confess I edited it in a hurry. But there is no issue in stating that Robert the Bruce was a descendant of Henry Beauclerc. Preceeding pasted from my talk page. Lindsay
- No, you're quite right, there is no issue in the fact: RB was, certainly, a descendent of HC. But he was also a descendent of John Marshal, and of Hugh the Great; it's not worth noting, though, since the relationship is so tenuous, though definable, so distant. After all, go back far enough, and we're all related, eh? Cheers, Lindsay 06:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)]
- BTW, hope you don't mind my pasting your note here; i prefer to keep a conversation together, so i'll watch your talk page for a response. Cheers, Lindsay 06:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The source in the Curtis Davies article (from the Guardian) says nothing about his father being of Creole ethnicity, merely that he is Sierra Leoneon.

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Krio culture]] to articles/categories that belong in it.
I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.
If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{

Your edits to Nova Scotian settlers (Sierra Leone)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
I saw your reaction on my talk page. Please let me explain. The edits I reverted (which were almost the same as reverted previously by another user) did two things:
- They removed some of the references, the references section, the bibliography and the external links;
- They added a few small paragraphs of relevant information.
Just add the information, and nobody will have a problem with it. Of course, you should preferably add sources, or the information you add may be challenged. Debresser (talk) 18:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
You have written me about this subject on my talk page, and I have answered you there. Please see here. Debresser (talk) 01:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
As I wrote you on my talk page: if you remove sourced information again (and it is sourced information, whether you are willing to admit it or not), you risk being blocked from editing on Wikipedia. Debresser (talk) 00:25, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Since you have ignored reverts by at least three editors, and since you have been properly warned, and nevertheless you continue with your removal of sourced information, I've reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#Wikiaddict8962_reported_by_Debresser_.28Result:_.29.

A tag has been placed on Carl E. Reindorf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

Replaceable fair use File:CSF Easmon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:CSF Easmon.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the

In general, articles on Wikipedia are not moved to another title by copying and pasting its contents; this creates a break in the article history which needs to be preserved for reference for other editors, and also in order to comply with the CC-BY-SA license. Instead, you can use the "move" link at the top of the article under the "More" button; if you are unable to move the page, either because you don't have enough edits, or because the destination is occupied, list it at

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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 deleted 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.

File permission problem with File:Sir Ian Wilmut.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sir Ian Wilmut.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 11:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

File source problem with File:EldredDJones.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:EldredDJones.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 seven 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.
