Perhaps you should give up Wikipedia?
Billy, I've spoken to you MANY times about your unreferenced, unencyclopedic inclusions on Wikipedia. I noticed that you added some photographs to the Benton, La page. Your pictures are falsely labeled (the image of the "Methodist Church" is NOT even a church any more! It's a wedding chapel and business building!  I also noticed you added more "notable" residents.  Being a sheriff doesn't make anyone notable.  Being a former "Hollywood actress" and current realtor also does not make someone notable.  I noticed you created a wiki page for her (Ms. Boucher), but I doubt that would pass the muster of an AfD (it might even get wiped out by a speedy delete if it were nominated). You don't even ATTEMPT to explain WHY she might be notable.  I will be deleting these references in the Benton, La article.  You apparently do not understand what an encyclopedia is.

Speedy deletion nomination of William T. Kane
A tag has been placed on William T. Kane 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 person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 07:19, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Julio Garcia pix IMG 1765.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Julio Garcia pix IMG 1765.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:PGN 07-04-2008 01;09;14PM.JPG
A tag has been placed on File:PGN 07-04-2008 01;09;14PM.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 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.

AfD nomination of Jim H. Clary
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jim H. Clary. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Jim H. Clary. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Phyllis Avery
Hi. Could you please stop citing IMDb as a citation for biographies (especially for BLPs). The biographies included on that site are written by users and are generally not fact checked thus, we cannot use them as sources per WP:RS. Additionally, there's no need to include someone's DOB and DOD after their name. If anyone wants to know their stats, they can click on their article. Lastly, we no longer include the image placeholders in infoboxes which is why I have removed it twice. Thanks.  Pinkadelica ♣  16:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I could only verify the original hook for Phyllis Avery here. If you want Stephen Morehouse Avery to be included, you need to either find a source that supports that hook, or come up with another hook that has a reference. Thanks! — Mattisse (Talk) 19:59, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Flagicons used in biographical infoboxes
Having noticed flagicons used to represent birth and death places in an infobox in an article you just started, Dean Fredericks, I looked through some of the other articles to find you adding these flagicons to many articles. If you would read through WP:FLAGBIO, you would find these flagicons should not be used in locations of birth and death because it could incorrectly imply citizenship or nationality. I applaud you for writing new articles, but in the future, I ask that you please not use these flagicons in infoboxes. Aspects (talk) 07:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Network schedules
Hi Billy,

Please make sure the material you're adding to articles is:
 * 1) sourced, and
 * 2) appropriate for the article you're adding it to.

I've removed this addition to 1955–56 United States network television schedule, since it has nothing to do with the article: syndicated series aren't network series, and don't have network schedules: the whole reason syndication exists is to fill in slots that the networks don't schedule. This content may be appropriate at 1955 in television, but not in an article discussing network TV schedules. Thanks, Firsfron of Ronchester  01:00, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

who might have created the pediment on the Colorado State Capitol? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 20:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
