I've reverted a number of your edits. Although they are obviously intended constructively, inserting large essay-type sections into existing articles is not usually a good idea. Try to make smaller additions. Also, please use citations to support individual points, rather than appending a reference list. I hope you find these comments useful and that you continue to contribute.JQ 02:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

BLACK MILITANCY
I have added a "" template to the article BLACK MILITANCY, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Burt I want to encourage you to edit; the best way to start is to make relatively small corrections to articles that interest you,and to add references tat you know of to articles that are lacking them. Then build up from there--best wishes. DGG 07:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
