A tag has been placed on Charlie Smith an Ex-Slave, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

License tagging for Image:CharlieSmith.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CharlieSmith.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Charlie Smith
I see that in the Charlie Smith (centenarian) article, you put in an infobox to indicate that Smith was born in 1842 and died in 1957. But the sources you provided all state that Smith was still alive in the 1960s or 1970s. He died in 1979. It's his birthdate which is in dispute, since he claimed to have been born in 1842 yet evidence such as his marriage certificate indicated he was actually born in 1874. --Metropolitan90 16:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Charlie Smith (centenarian) did not die in 1957
Please stop writing that Charlie Smith (centenarian) died in 1957. All of the sources that you provided for his article indicated he was alive in 1967 or later. --Metropolitan90 15:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
