April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to United Church of Christ appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. "Mainline" has a specific meaning when talking about churches. See the talk page for the article for more information on why "mainline" is the correct term for the UCC. WeisheitSuchen (talk) 16:49, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Christian terrorism, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.-Andrew c ^[talk] 20:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Army of God (USA), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 21:16, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians, you will be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 21:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Murder of David Gunn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paul Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to David Gunn (doctor) does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Additionally, when an edit you have made is reverted, rather than simply restoring the edit without attempting to address the concern of the other editor, please discuss the issue on the article's talk page. SummerPhD (talk) 01:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I didn't know explanation was needed as there is direct correlation. I have put in an explanation.

Good morning. Are you Donald Spitz, or anyone else otherwise associated with Army of God (United States)? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Shelley Shannon incarcerated in Texas.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Shelley Shannon incarcerated in Texas.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Michael Bray Sign.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Michael Bray Sign.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 14:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

May 2019

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Donald Spitz while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting inappropriately and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. It's clear by the timing and content that you are editing the page about you using numerous IPs. This is against policy and will lead to you and your IP addresses being blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 15:19, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
