  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Larry Sinclair and Barack Obama has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Larry Sinclair and Barack Obama, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Please STOP removing the tag yourself. If the article is valid then an administrator will remove it.

Speedy deletion of Larry Sinclair and Barack Obama

edit
 

Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page, as you did with Larry Sinclair and Barack Obama, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I have left the content in place and just added the speedy deletion template. This is your final warning over removing it. You will be blocked if you continue. Just leave it there and if you are right an admin will agree with you. AvnjayTalk 17:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
