Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! You recently added an external link to YouTube in an article. It has been removed because the link pointed to a non-encyclopedic source. Per WP:COPYRIGHT: External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of copyright infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine. Please refer to Wikipedia's policy on external links for more information. |
Donnie Davies
[edit]Just thought I'd let you know that I nominated the article for a deletion reversal which you can weigh in on here: WP:DRV Thanks! SquatGoblin 04:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input on the deletion reversal. I noticed you do support it being undeleted. If you don't mind, could you make a vote of that? --SquatGoblin 22:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- As the bot pointed out below, it looks like Donnie Davies has been moved to WP:AFD under February 2, 2007 if you have continuing interest in this subject. I thought I'd thank you for all your participation thus far. You've been helpful. --SquatGoblin 14:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Donnie Davies
[edit]An editor has nominated Donnie Davies, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donnie Davies (3rd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

DOMA citation
[edit]Do you have a citation for the list of "Other cases"? I can't find anything on the DOJ site that lists them all. Thx. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 16:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, the source is a document filed by the DOJ on 2/28/11. You need to have PACER access in order to view it, but there's a copy here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/49755370/List-of-Pending-DOMA-Cases. I have access to PACER and confirmed the document's authenticity. Mattymatt (talk) 06:54, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. It's just not clear from the citation that it's about more than Golinski. I'll expand it a bit. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 14:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 20
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of 1980s American television episodes with LGBT themes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 15:30, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
The article Gordon Muir Giles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Most of the cited sources are written by the article's subject. The others don't seem to be about the article's subject. I can't find evidence of meeting WP:GNG or WP:NPROF.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
