Larry Hillblom
In the Larry Hillblom article, you've made quite a lot of statements that require some sourcing, see Cite your sources. Please provide some information about the sources that you've used, or else, because of our verifiability policy your additions will have to be removed. Thanks! --JoanneB 08:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Murder
In the article on murder you set Belgian's murder rate at 9.1 pro 100,000 citing an article from The Wall Street Journal. Unfortunatly Bret Stephens was falsely informed. That 9,1 figure also includes (unsuccesfull) attempts. In 2005 Belgian federal police registered 172 murders and manslaugthers for a pro capita rate of 1,6 per 100 000.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Feel this free.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Feel this free.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kirby Wilbur
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kirby Wilbur, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rtphokie (talk) 01:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Markham! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. 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 this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of Peopleclick Authoria


A tag has been placed on Peopleclick Authoria, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Peopleclick Authoria and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 04:17, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
