Speedy deletion of Spartan Chassis, Inc.
A tag has been placed on Spartan Chassis, Inc. 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 company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

McCain article
Please do not use undo without explanation unless you are reverting obvious vandalism. Your statement as written appears to be false. When did McCain make an announcement about launching "negative, dirty campaign ads"... Yes, there are ads comparing Obama to Hilton. What makes that worth mentioning? Are we going to update the article with each new ad as we approach the election? If not, then why this one? --Onorem♠Dil 15:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, please be aware of the three revert rule, which in a nutshell states that "Wikipedians who revert a page in whole or in part more than three times in 24 hours, except in certain special circumstances, are likely to be blocked from editing". --Onorem♠Dil 15:32, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk page protocol
TruckMatt, your recent comments on Talk:Chrysler K platform were not okay. Please take a few minutes to review Wikipedia's talk page guidelines and keep in mind that an article's talk page is for discussion of what's to be included in the article, how it's to be presented, what sources are used to support assertions, and so on. Talk pages are not for essays or debates on the merits of the subject of the article. You are certainly welcome to hold however low an opinion of the K-cars you wish, and to lament Volkswagen's apparent disagreement with your assessment of Chrysler minivans, but Wikipedia is not a forum for you to state or advance your opinions. Thanks for understanding. Please also remember always to sign your comments on talk pages. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 18:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Radio 4 and Home Service
These articles aren't really compatible for merger in my opinion, since Radio 4 has drifted a lot from the Home Service's format and the resulting article is so huge and rambling as to do justice to neither 4 nor the Home. So I've reverted your redirection and merge. You're welcome to discuss a merger, but I'm likely to oppose it. Thanks. ➨ ❝ ЯEDVERS ❞ a sweet and tender hooligan 08:28, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk pages are not forums
Please do not use talk pages for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information.

June 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. McDoobAU93 (talk) 18:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I looked at the source you provided for your recent edit to Test Track. Unfortunately, the story is about 3 months old and it does not back up your change. The article says that the sponsorship was set to expire this year, but it also said that both parties were reviewing their options. It does not say that GM ended the sponsorship. If you can, however, find a source indicating that GM has indeed chosen to end the sponsorship, I'll support it. Until then, it doesn't belong here. Thank you for your assistance, and happy editing! --McDoobAU93 (talk) 18:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello TruckMatt! 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:

Edit summaries
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary. BMRR (talk) 03:37, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * In addition to writing edit summaries before you save your edits, please add references for the facts you add to articles. Unreferenced information can be removed at any time, so adding references is the best way to make sure that doesn't happen. Thanks. –BMRR (talk) 03:29, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Part Of Your Life

Please provide more information
You will probably need to provide more information than this if you want help. What exactly is at issue? Active Banana   ( bananaphone  14:14, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Edits to CBS
Aside from the grammar being atrocious in your recent addition to CBS, there are no sources cited where the information can be verified. Where did you get the information, particularly for some of the conclusions in the article about the growth of NASCAR? —C.Fred (talk) 20:25, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Peter Mansbridge, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Don Newman. 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.

Disambiguation link notification for July 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.
