Just copy and paste it onto your user page. =) Asarelah (talk) 23:20, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Why your edit is being removed

Nothing to do with how good it is at all. There are two problems. One is the article is about twice the maximum size we want already - see the two banners at the top. That makes it hard to read and for those with a slow internet service slow to load. The second issue is whether a section on a social work approach is appropriate in this article. My own feeling is that an article on sucicide among Native Americans is needed and that this could be part of it, and I'm raising that on the talk page. Dougweller (talk) 06:40, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

And your edit has had a brilliant result, a new article including your material is now at Contemporary Native American issues in the United States. Dougweller (talk) 16:30, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

i am glad it could be of use!
