hey from thewolfstar
Da Stressor, just saying 'hey', and I read some of the Malcolm X article. I like the article, but I would like to add more. He is one of my most respected Americans along with Daniel Shays, Henry David Thoreau, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, and others. I like what somebody said on their user page about not tolerating rascism. and it pointed to Malcolm X article. My sentiments exactly and that's how I feel about anyone who tries to take away my freedom like the current U.S. Socialist-Fascist state, the current One World Government, or any opressive regime.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:04 kwanzaa37 d.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:04 kwanzaa37 d.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 19:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chesnutt stamp.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Chesnutt stamp.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

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. ww2censor (talk) 04:17, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
