Fighting Vandals
Hello, Hugh16! In your recent report to the AIV, you said that you were not sure how to warn or contact the vandals. I am very glad you chose to join the fight against vandals here on Wikipedia. Even though your report was not quite the proper thing to do without warning the person first, it will likely be reviewed and any necessary action will be taken (however I doubt that this will result in a block). This page describes what to do when you spot vandalism. When you gain some basic experience in vandalism-fighting, you might want to try out some of the anti-vandalism tools available for free use (such as Twinkle). If you have any questions about vandalism-fighting, feel free to ask them on my talk page. Thanks. A Vand talkcontribs 13:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: I have now reverted the changes made by the user 202.168.18.153 as they appeared to be vandalism and/or unsourced additions, so the article should be back to normal. A Vand talkcontribs 13:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Avis Howard Thayer
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Avis Howard Thayer, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~sch00461. 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.

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) 04:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Avis Howard Thayer
A tag has been placed on Avis Howard Thayer 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 a copy be emailed to you. //  Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 05:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Roger Kirk (diplomat)"
A page you created, Roger Kirk (diplomat), has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks. BigHairRef | Talk 07:50, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Flagging Robert E. Hunter for further review
Hello, … I recently encountered the article about Robert E. Hunter and in my opinion, it either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I am considering tagging  for deletion according to the Deletion policy … I do not have time to examine the article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

Be sure to read Ownership of articles, and remember that Some Other Editors (including at least one administrator) may not share your opinion about the notability of the article's subject.

I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Your first article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now — triwbe (talk) 07:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Hugh16! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 16 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:


 * 1) Leonard S. Unger -
 * 2) Viron P. Vaky -
 * 3) Melissa F. Wells -
 * 4) Robert Pelletreau -
 * 5) Henry D. Owen -
 * 6) Thomas Niles -
 * 7) Langhorne A. Motley -
 * 8) Robert Hopkins Miller -
 * 9) William H. Luers -
 * 10) George W. Landau -


 * 11. Curtis Warren Kamman
 * 12. Ulric Haynes
 * 13. Brandon Grove
 * 14. Avis Bohlen
 * 15. Reginald Bartholomew

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 09:17, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Please check to see if any of these are still unreferenced. I just did Brandon Grove but Unreferenced BLP Rescue needs your help!  Cheers.--Milowent • talkblp-r  23:09, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kenneth L. Brown


The article Kenneth L. Brown has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced, notability therefore unclear

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
