Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Women's roles in the World Wars. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:47, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at United States home front during World War II, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:35, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Sorry! Just trying to learn the ropes here. Lessons learned. Thanks! I was simply trying to de-orphan the article and, obviously, didn't understand how to do that appropriately.

Sorry! While trying to figure out how to create an account I used a friend's account. It won't happen again. Lesson learned. Thanks!

To Jackmcbarn, thanks for the work you've done on the Kalamazoo Gals page. I appreciate it. Sorry for my clumsiness and ignorance about all things Wiki. Your point of ensuring a neutral point of view is a good one. But, I'm not sure what to do about it. I've done my best to be impartial, but I agree that a review by a neutral third party is a good idea. But, what do I do about that? Simply wait and hope? As folks who've reviewed the book in the media (print, radio, TV) to weigh in? Thanks! JohnThomasCT (talk) 01:11, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, waiting and hoping is really your best bet at this point. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:22, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Makes sense. Thanks, again. JohnThomasCT (talk) 11:14, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Kalamazoo Gals (Cover).jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Kalamazoo Gals (Cover).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:27, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
