 * It was deleted before, it will be deleted again. It IS NOT vandalism to tag an inappropriate image for deletion, and if you persist in uploading it, you may find yourself blocked. Dethme0w (talk) 01:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It is not an inappropriate image. It is a photo of a license plate with letters and numbers randomly assigned by the province of Alberta. Cryptographic Slurm (talk) 01:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, the recent edit you made to U.S. and Canadian license plates 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.

The backstory about Image:Alberta License Plate.jpg
READ THIS BEFORE YOU ACCUSE PEOPLE OF BEING A VANDAL!!!!!! The gradual increase in the use of letters in the serials of license plates has given rise to an increased possibility of unintentional profane or inappropriate words or messages arising from the use of sequential alphanumeric combinations. Thus, numbering sequences generally exclude certain combinations of letters or numbers that would be potentially offensive. Jurisdictions' attention to excluding offensive combinations varies widely, however. In 1986, Waldale, a Canadian licence plate manufacturer, due to a production error, produced an entire batch of New Brunswick plates that began with the letters ASS. The plates were never issued, and were officially scrapped, but many found their way into the collectors' market. A similar situation occured in 2004 with plates made for Alberta that began with the letters CUM. Unlike the New Brunswick ASS plates, they were never recalled and are a prized collector's item.
