Maybe, you were just merging. Sorry if I was hasty in my comments. IvoShandor 11:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, please use an edit summary when you edit as it makes it easier to follow an article's progress on the history page. Thanks. IvoShandor 11:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. I'm still learning how to use Wikipedia. If you have the time, could you or someone else reference the citations in melting pot from the Zangwill play and from Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier thesis?Fairlane75 15:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Interracial marriage

Hello,

Recently, you merged the contents of Interracial marriage into the article on Miscegenation. The merge has been questioned, and you are invited to comment on this issue over at the RfD page. Please review WP:MERGE before making such edits in the future. It is common practice to allow for a period of discussion prior to the merge of such articles. Thank you. --Aarktica 00:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Harlem Renaissance, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Harlem Renaissance.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Paul Sparkes

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Paul Sparkes, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.djpaulsparkes.com/content.php?page=bio. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Paul Sparkes

A tag has been placed on Paul Sparkes 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, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, 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 {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
