Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, 52nd Defense Battalion, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Nancy 13:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 5th Communication Battalion, 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 no content to the reader. Please note that 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 don't count as content. 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 page 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. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 13:41, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense of 1st Defense Battalion
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 1st Defense Battalion, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because 1st Defense Battalion provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting 1st Defense Battalion, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Put context in your articles
If you do not put any context or references into your articles, they will be speedy deleted. Continuing to create articles without context and references will get you blocked.-Wafulz 14:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Wafulz, I think this new editor may simply does not realize that it is possible to upload images without having to put them in a corresponding article. Please don't WP:BITE him.

HollywoodMarine1, images can be uploaded separately of articles; see WP:UPLOAD, and be careful to follow the copyright information there. Note that in general material you find on the web is not public domain. Unless stated otherwise, it is usually the copyright of either the web site, or whoever contributed it to the web site. But in general you should be prepared to create the outline of an article at about the same time you upload the image, including at least one reference to the source of information; then upload the image, and add it, giving the rationale. It helps to prepare the article offline, and then add it to WP at once, so the article looks incomplete. If you need to discuss the article, please use the talk page, also called the discussion page. Whether articles on individual discontinued military units are encouraged is something I don't know; you might want to discuss it at the talk page for Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history, so you can coordinate your work with the others interested.
