== Speedy deletion nomination of Ian Rusted == |

Hello Big iron, |
|||
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Ian Rusted]] for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia. |
|||
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Ian Rusted}}&action=edit§ion=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. |

"The" Ukraine in 1944 MLA biographies
This is a small pet peeve of mine.|-( Please see Name of Ukraine#Syntax, _especially_ the reference notes.
Anyway, using "Ukrainian Canadian" when referring to their immigrant parent's generation is better, IMHO.:-)

- Actually on second thought, using this -> [[Ukrainian Canadian#Settlement – First wave (1891–1914)|Ukrainian immigrants]] <- would be better. – Jwkozak91 (talk) 10:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Percy Klaehn, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.saskatoon.ca/DEPARTMENTS/Infrastructure%20Services/Parks/Woodlawn%20Cemetery/Documents/klaehn.html.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Missing Canadian politicians
Many thanks for creating the articles. I myself wanted to create these articles and nominate them for DYK. If you are able to create articles larger than 1500 characters and avoid copyvios I will nominate it for DYK provided it has some interesting fact in it. As you can see above, I have nominated several of your recent creations. The Russell Wilson article was to be featured on the Main Page today but it was pulled from the prep area because of copyvio concerns. Please avoid close paraphrasing and there won't be any problem in getting the articles to the Main Page.--Skr15081997 (talk) 14:10, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
