Please revert the POW Medal page to include previous links edit

Sir, I am not sure why you removed the links I just posted. I am adding the primary sources to the legislative material behind the awards. I authored virtually the entire page... Can you please undo this?Foxtrot5151 (talk) 02:22, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry if it was a mistake, but when I saw that mediafire links had been included into the article, little alarms went off in my head as vandalism. I'm not one to trust sites like that. What do the links go to? Why do they need to be included into a Wikipedia article? --AndySpeak to Me (Breathe)Contribs 02:26, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

They make the article more scholarly- they are links to all of the actual files being cited uploaded to medifire in pdf form. I'm working to fix the policy for this medal with the House Committee on Armed Services, and I want the service-level policy proponents to be able to access the actual files. I'm not very experienced with Wikipedia, but that was almost two days of work you erased. Can you please undo this? I added to several sections as well as the file links.

Well, for one thing I just reverted one edit, which can easily be undone. And it was just a misunderstanding, because I've seen plenty of example where people will try to promote their whatever by posting links to youtube or rapidshare or mediashare in an article. My one recommendation: for professional purposes try putting your links like this [ http//:www.example.com Link name ], where there is a single bracket "[" in front of the link, then put a space after the link and put a more professional looking title and then another bracker "]" after that. Now, instead of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, it looks like Wikipedia Main Page.
Sorry for the inconvenience. And, I'm assuming your username alludes to the Genesis album of the same name... If so, I like it! =) --AndySpeak to Me (Breathe)Contribs 02:41, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

The Gujarat Page edit

If you want to keep that one sentence in the history section then re-write the origin paragraph. The user that blanked the origin paragraph (which was a good edit in my opinion) included that line in the general history section (perhaps by mistake). Gregjackson112 (talk) 04:44, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I reverted your edit because you removed four references. You can reword the sentence any way you wish, just don't remove referenced materials. Thanks, AndySpeak to Me (Breathe)Contribs 04:48, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I didn't just remove the references, I removed the whole sentence. That sentence was left over from the "origin of name" section that was blanked. Perhaps it was intentional, but that particular line didn't sit well with the rest of the History section, and you can't have a whole paragraph devoted to just that single sentence. Gregjackson112 (talk) 05:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yea, I noticed it seemed out of place, but I also saw four references removed. My suggestion when you remove any amount of material (or add it), attach a semi-detailed edit summary so people like me don't revert constructive edits. --AndySpeak to Me (Breathe)Contribs 18:14, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Lie cover.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Lie cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:55, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Looks like the article it was intended for was deleted. Go ahead and delete the file. --AndySpeak to Me (Breathe)Contribs 22:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Sky Architect ADMH.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Sky Architect ADMH.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Jo Stafford albums edit

I'll make a note to skip them in my scanning, but it would be nice if you completed your articles before publishing them, or use your sandbox to write them before publishing them. Thanks --AndySpeak to Me (Breathe)Contribs 16:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I could just add {{underconstruction}} I suppose, but I tend to overlook that so will have to remember to add it at the beginning. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 16:51, 22 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Tartar Lamb (band) edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tartar Lamb (band) 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 band or musician, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — ZjarriRrethues — talk 21:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation edit

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

Proposed deletion of Epignosis edit

 

The article Epignosis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet any of the notability criteria for bands

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
