TalkPage notice for UnReliables
Find A Grave, ODMP, Rootsweb, IMdB, etc. are forum-based sites. These are edited by anyone (similar to Wikipedia) and contain huge amounts of non-vetted, unscholarly additions which have no editor oversight. Therefore, such sites are considered wholly non-reliable by Wikipedia policy of referencing and citing. Please stop your additions to articles based entirely on information gleaned from such sites. Thank you. ~
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself, so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Article Deletion by Redirect after Merger
It appears that your edit of //date//, (//edit summary details//) unilaterally erased a reliably sourced Wikipedia article, ~article name~. Please use caution and review the steps to merging two articles prior to making any edit which may delete uniquely sourced article content.

If you need help in the completion of a merger in the future, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, ~


 * Possible additions to above

Please refrain from doing so again, as this could be considered vandalism.

If you need future help in the completion of a merger, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, ~

Table creation, sortable
To un-Bold column titles, replace the leading header exclamation points ("!") with a pipe ("|"); Number of modifiers in "records" section must equal number modifiers in "header" section; " Table Legend " may go above or below the table; remove comment markups ( "" ).

'''
 * This template:
 *  Table Legend: {legend/key if needed}

'''


 * Outputs the following table style:


 *  Table Legend: {legend/key if needed}

Tree lists
