Speedy deletion of William Lowther Jackson
A tag has been placed on William Lowther Jackson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

United States Secretary of War
Re: Your edit to my talk page diff regarding United States Secretary of War and Timothy Pickering. Thanks for the info and for adding an inline citation for that. Including an edit summary would have been even better to let other editors know why the change was being made and would have prevented my accidental revert. &mdash; MrDolomite &bull; Talk 14:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Richard Ward (American politician)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Richard Ward (American politician), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.juliawardhowe.org/genealogy/govrichardward.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:51, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
