Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit and is especially useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Barret (talk) 23:19, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Anglo-Danes

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Anglo-Danes. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Danelaw. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Danelaw - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. — ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 08:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page

Hi Davido488 - sorry for the delay in responding. I'm not entirely certain what you mean by a "belligerent list", but I suspect you are talking about an information box that lists which countries/combatants were involved in a war or battle. That's not particularly an area where I personally am familiar, but a good place to inquire might be WikiProject Military History. I'm going to also post this message on my talk page and ask other editors who watch it to also make some suggestions, so you might want to "watch" that page to see if you get any helpful suggestions.
