Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jeremy Ryans may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -- Fr a ncs2000 22:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Jeremy Ryans. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. -- Fr a ncs2000 22:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

First Names
Hi. I noticed you've been adding wikilinks to various first names in articles like The Amazing Race. I've been reverting them, because I don't understand the reasoning behind it. These wikilinks go to the generic article for that first name, instead of an article for that person, which would be more useful and is accepted. If you continue, I assume that your edits will continue to be reverted. Thanx! --Maxamegalon2000 23:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Brian Thomas Smith
Note that I've added a tag to the article. While some past Amazing Racers like Ron Young, Brittney Rogers or Rob Mariano have an extensive list of accomplishments outside of the Race, many do not and thus fail the Wikipedia's inclusion requirements for biographies (WP:BIO). Please keep that official policy in mind when creating new articles on Amazing Racers. Most of them lack notability for Wikipedia. --Madchester 19:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

The article Brian Thomas Smith has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a person or group of persons but it does not indicate how or why that person or group is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. --Madchester 19:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

The Amazing Race 9
Welcome to Wikipedia! We could really use your help to create new content, but your recent additions do not assert the notability of their subjects and have been reverted or removed. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --Madchester 02:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Ronyoung.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ronyoung.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 02:11, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. --Madchester 01:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
