Thanks for your contributions on US history. When you have time, please review the Manual of Style. It will tell you how to format your articles. For example, you should begin an article with the name of the subject in bold text; the title is not part of the text. Also see Category, which explains how to categorize your article so that they can be found. Gazpacho 19:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Kerchief and western wear
If you look at Talk:Kerchief, you'll find that we actually had some discussion regarding Category:Western wear, which could be summed up with the line, "Cowboys don't wear kerchiefs". The idea was that "kerchief" looked really strange in the western wear category, and so we proposed a change in name to "bandanna". It ultimately failed due to it mainly being a difference between American English and the Queen's English (changing between English styles is against policy). So the compromise move was to put the category on Bandanna, which is a redirect to Kerchief. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Communist Control Act
Regarding your edit to the Communist Control Act article, what is your source for this Act being known as the Brownell–Butler Act? The only reference I can find to "Brownell–Butler" on the Web is Guide to the International Fur and Leather Workers' Union Records, 1913–1955, which make reference to a Brownell–Butler union licensing bill. However, while the CCA does deal in a few places with Communists representives of labour bargaining units, I wouldn't call it a "union licensing" act. —Psychonaut 23:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Burlington Company
I've nominated Burlington Company, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Burlington Company satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Burlington Company and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Burlington Company during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. -  Irides centi   (talk to me!)  13:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bufterfield Claims
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bufterfield Claims, 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.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Mikeevs! 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 Blue Lodges


A tag has been placed on Blue Lodges requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.
