List of North American conflicts
I don't think there is enough information about the fall of Fort Caroline for a separate article (as the failure of the French colonies in Florida is the principal matter anyway). The war between the Huron and the Iroquois should have its own article, though I'm not sure what one might title it. War between the Huron and the Iroquois may have to do for now and invite an editor with a better idea to move the article. Also, if you are going to limit your list to "wars" in the general sense, you may want to change the article title. Otherwise one might be inclined to add the Watts riots or the Chiapas rebellion. -Acjelen 20:00, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi, There were not that many wars in North America so I think any reasonable military actions should be included such as battles, rebellions and skirmishes etc. Cordially LaLa 21:22, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

List of Conflicts in Canada
I have reverted all of your additions of this category to battles of the North-West Rebellion. Since there is a cat there already, you should rather make the Battles of the Northwest rebellion cat a subcat of yours. By the way your cat has a terrible name, since lists and categories on Wikipedia have very different and specific meanings. So having a category claiming to be a list is a bad idea - if it is to be retained, the name must be changed to something more suitable. Fawcett5 02:58, 26 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I also feel I should comment, as I ran across this on a couple of pages and was about to start reverting your changes. I think you have a good overall idea, but your implementation is a little different than is common on Wikipedia.  I would suggest browsing through the following guidelines:  Categorization and Lists.  As Fawcett5 mentions, the name is misleading, since it is not a list as we normally have here.  The name would probably be better suited as Category:Conflicts in Canada.


 * Instead of such a general category, I further recommend you create categories that could be incorporated as subcategories of others. For example:
 * Category:Wars of Canada could be a subcategory of Category:Wars by country
 * Category:Terrorist incidents of Canada could be a subcategory of Category:Terrorist incidents


 * The last recommendation, is that you only include articles about an actual conflict. Putting articles of people/groups (e.g. Iroquois) or places (e.g. L'Anse aux Meadows) that were involved in conflicts would be misleading.  We would end up in having most Canadian articles in this category since most people and places have been involved in some sort of conflict.


 * Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia. I am glad to see another person active in editing pages about Canadian history.  Please don't take these comments that you are not welcome.  We are just trying to create a consistent resource for all Wikipedians.  -- JamesTeterenko 04:00, 26 July 2005 (UTC)


 * LaLa - re you comments on my user page: It's probably a bad idea to baselessly acuse administrators of vandalism... generally, we have been around here long enough to know pretty well how things work, and while you are welcome here on Wikipedia, you will soon find that making petty threats will get you nowhere. At the moment, you exhibit a relatively poor understanding of how wikipedia works, which correlates well with your 344 edits.  Needless to say, I will NOT reverse my reverts. The Manual of Style indicates that only the most specific category should be applied. The obvious thing to do is to organise the categories as I suggested, and make the Battles of the North-West Rebellion cat a subcategory of Conflicts in Canada (which is what the CATEGORY should properly be called - the naming convention used for the List of Wars cat you point out is flawed too, and should be remediated). Fawcett5 04:55, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to make it very clear that Fawcett5 is correct here; Wikipedia has very specific rules for how categorization works. First off, if there's already a category for Battles of the Northwest Rebellion, and that category is filed as a subcategory of the Conflicts in Canada category, then individual battles are not simultaneously filed in both categories; the subcategory is sufficient. Also, category names should not have "List of" in them. I commend you for doing a pretty impressive job, and the category is a really good idea; just be aware that there are rules for this which you may not be fully familiar with yet.

Copyright violations and plaigarism are always unacceptable
LaLa, reviewing your edits, I find I have identified several of your articles as having been copied from other non-public domain sources, and this is never acceptable. The following articles have been noted on Copyright problems:


 * 1) Lacolle River, Quebec
 * 2) Battle of Lacolle Mills (1814)
 * 3) Lacolle, Quebec
 * 4) Colonel Joel Stone

Please, please, do not do this, it just wastes everybodies time. The articles will end up getting deleted, and someone will just have to start again. To understand why, see Copyrights. Fawcett5 06:31, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio coverup
OK LaLa, you are now skating on thin ice. DO NOT remove Copyvio tags from articles without explaining somehow that you have the rights to material that was blatantly copied, and DO NOT remove any evidence that you contributed to copyright violations from your talk page as you did last night. If you persist in this behaviour, I will have another admin review your actions, and you might well end up finding yourself blocked from editing. Fawcett5 14:28, 26 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I have reviewed the articles, and they are clearly copyright violations. Please stop removing the copyright violation notices; otherwise more serious action will have to be taken. Jayjg (talk)  19:25, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Removing deletion notices
Please do not remove deletion notices. If you believe that articles/categories should stay, go to the appropriate discussion page and voice your concern there. For example, to discuss whether the Category "List of conflicts in Canada" should stay, go to the discussion here. -- JamesTeterenko 19:19, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, the notice does not mean the category will be destroyed. Since there is no move function for categories, they can only be renamed by emptying and deleting one category and then creating the replacement with the same articles. Please read Categories and the related articles. Septentrionalis 01:49, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Block
For repeatedly removing copyvio and deletion notices, you have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. The current block will expire 19:07 July 27 Eastern time, or 23:07 July 27 UTC. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 04:31, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked for 24 hours for engaging in personal attacks and vandalizing other user's user and talk pages. When your block expires, please be careful to avoid personal attacks and vandalism. -- Essjay ·  Talk 08:00, August 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Obviously being blocked hasn't taught you anything. Since you seem determined to attack other users, I'm extending your block to a week and protecting this page from editing. I hope you will realize that this sort of behavior is simply unacceptable. -- Essjay ·  Talk 10:13, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

your "vote" on the dog fighting breeds talk page
LaLa, if you want to be childish and create vandalism, it makes it far harder for people to actually take you seriously. When you post your real vote we will simply ignore it as childish nonsense because it can be diffecult to seperate childish sarcasm from truth. Whearas if you actually WANT your vote to account for something, i would suggest a more serious approach to this! Instead of the four year old temper tantrum i have just had to revert! thank you Tekana (O.o) Talk 18:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Block
LaLa/LaLa1/Yummy123/Envelope/WritersCramp/Endurance, This account has been blocked for 48 hours for your repeated violation of WP:NPA, even after repeated warning and previous blocks.

Deleted your Berghof addition as a copyright violation.
I deleted your addition to Berghof (Hitler) which was a violation of the copyrights that IPC Media have to the contents of previous Homes & Gardens issues. You state in your edit that the article is free of copyright, but this is not the case. See for instance this page and links within. Please be very carefull in the future when posting verbatim copies of printed material so we can keep wikipedia out of legal trouble. Thanks. Shanes 12:53, 25 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I may have judged your addition too quickly. Seems to be a grey area. See talk:Berghof (Hitler). Any comments on this if you know more about the copyright-status of the magasine article is very much welcome. Thanks. Shanes 14:06, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Berghof.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Berghof.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. SteinbDJ 19:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Joelstone.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joelstone.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Image Tagging Image:Lacollemap.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Lacollemap.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

Image copyright problem with Image:LacolleMills.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LacolleMills.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. ZsinjTalk 02:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Berghof1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Berghof1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Kelly hi! 03:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Blue Paul Terrier


The article Blue Paul Terrier has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This so-called 'breed' is born of myth, and fails WP:N, & WP:V. Of the 2 sources cited, one is dated 1861, and the other is a 2009 RS by David Harris but with only a relatively brief mention that is 2 paragraphs long. The first paragraph states: 'The origins of these blue dogs are shrouded in uncertainty.' IOW, it's anecdotal material that needs a serious antidote, and this PROD is that antidote. We could treat the symptom and redirect it to Bull and terrier, provided we could actually verify that it is indeed a bulldog and terrier cross. Visual IDs are terribly faulty at best."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Atsme 💬 📧 22:47, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
