Gang patch photos
Hi Hippysue, the photos of gang patches you've added to Gangs in New Zealand all appear to come from the April 2006 Police News. As such they violate copyright of the New Zealand Police Association and need to be deleted. Please see Copyright for more information. XLerate (talk) 07:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lost breed mc
A tag has been placed on Lost breed mc 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 club, 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 guidelines for people and for organizations.

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.

Monitoring NZ gang articles
Hi Hippysue, all the NZ gang articles can be checked via Category:Gangs in New Zealand, then clicking on "Related changes", in case you weren't already aware. XLerate (talk) 11:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Outlaw motorcycle club
Hi, can you use Talk:Outlaw motorcycle club to explain why you deleted a reference and replaced with a link to Veno's book, and a claim that motorcycle gangs have changed their attitude towards women? Where in The Brotherhoods does it cite to this "recent research" that you mentioned?--Dbratland (talk) 16:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
