Ed Britton
A tag has been placed on Ed Britton, 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 article 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.

Your recent article creation
I noticed your username is an exact match for the subject of the article you just created. If you are the person that article is about, creating it is a violation of Wikipedia's Conflict of interest guidelines. You are strongly discouraged from creating articles about yourself as it interferes with Wikipedia's goal to create a neutral encyclopedia. Also the fact the article was simply a series of links makes it appear it was intended to either promote the subject, or raise their google pagerank. Both of those are violations of the Wikipedia Spam guidelines. I strongly suggest you read both of those articles, in particular the How not to be a spammer section of the latter. I do hope that you do remain around Wikipedia, and continue to contribute usefully to the project. Your edits to other articles were useful and valuable contributions and I would love it if you would continue them. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:22, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
