Peculiar edits
This editor's recent edit seems a little strange. Here is a very recent edit, which was reverted by an administrator. Was this some sort of racial statement? -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:55, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

No, it was not a racial statement. He was a white American and died fighting in the American Revolution. MelungeonEire


 * Of course it's a racial statement. You changed "Polish nobleman" to "white American", not "Polish nobleman" to just "American". Adding "white" is a racial statement. We don't call George Washington a "white American". Please don't do this again. Doug Weller  talk 12:17, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

So calling the man what he is is now racist? Thats ridiculous. He was a white American. Thats common sense. talk
 * Okay, perhaps it's not a "racial statement" per se, but there's no need to make reference to 'white' in such an instance. "Polish nobleman" is the more appropriate term here. Since Pulaski was born in Poland I think it's understood that he was white. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:40, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Frederick Weaver (American Revolutionary), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sullivan County and Alsatian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

April 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Frederick Weaver (American Revolutionary) ‎, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 12:18, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Michael Hill (activist). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 12:19, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Polish-American Society of Memphis


A tag has been placed on The Polish-American Society of Memphis 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Fiona Apple. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 17:41, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Old Stock Americans concern
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Old Stock Americans, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:33, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Southern Jews (United States)
Hello. Just a quick note to let you know that I caught your "Southern Jews" piece in the New Articles queue and have boldly changed the title to the more standard History of the Jews in the Southern United States. Anyone searching for "Southern Jews" will still be redirected to that page; hopefully the new title will inspire you to think of the subject in a slightly different way.

Elvis Presley
Hello, I see you've been warned numerous times in the past about adding unsourced content to articles, and you're doing it again at Elvis Presley. Aside from the questionable encyclopedic value of pointing out that someone is a "white southerner", there is no cited source in the article pointing that out or outlining why it's a notable fact about the subject. Consider this a final warning that adding unsourced content to any further articles will be met with a block. -- Laser brain  (talk)  14:51, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited White Southerners, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richard Spencer ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/White_Southerners check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/White_Southerners?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at White Southerners. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Laser brain  (talk)  15:09, 5 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Just to be clear, adding text (especially with the racial/ethnic overtones you employ) that's either unsourced or cited to blogs and other sub-par sources is unacceptable. Please carefully review WP:RS and WP:V before you add any other text to articles, especially anything that's likely to be challenged. -- Laser brain  (talk)  15:56, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You're still adding poor quality sources and haven't read the policies I linked above. -- Laser brain  (talk)  13:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Old Stock Americans. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Doug Weller talk 10:19, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of sources
Please do not add or change content, as you did at George Fitzhugh, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:19, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Using a a photograph to illustrate a person who had been dead abut 20 years when the photo was taken is misrepresehtation of a source
