Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 17:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Shared IP note
[edit]Hi, got your note. When you're logged in, that's less of a problem. If you find yourself blocked because of someone else's vandalism, follow the directions at Template:Autoblock. Let me know if I can be of any help, too. Peace, delldot talk 18:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 18:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ego trippin.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Ego trippin.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
December 2007
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to It's Okay (One Blood), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you.

Bandwidth
[edit]Hi Chris, no, neither question is dumb. In a way, yes, each article costs the Wikimedia foundation money, because they have to pay the costs of all the bandwidth used. So really, each time someone loads a page or makes an edit, it costs a little bit of money, because information has to be sent to or from the servers. So unnecessary edits are not such a good thing, but we're not really supposed to worry about it, we're just supposed to carry on with editing. Peace, delldot talk 04:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Vandal patrol
[edit]*holds finger like a gun and blows smoke off it* ;) Heh, I'm pretty fast! But no, thanks for catching those vandal edits, it's always needed. Even if someone beats you to a revert, there will always be some that wouldn't have gotten caught till later, so the redundancy is good. If you want to do more vandal patrol, you should check out the tools for cleaning up vandalism, they automate some of the more repetitive aspects of the job. Also, if you have IRC, there's a channel that lets you watch suspicious changes as they happen, let me know if you're interested and I'll tell you more. Thanks again Chirs, see you around. Peace, delldot talk 14:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Re:Some advice
[edit]It's basically move the article to the proper title. I'll fix it then. Don't worry. --Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 05:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I think I did the proper moves now. --Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 06:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Looks like it's taken care of thanks to Esanchez, right? delldot on a public computer talk 06:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
COLD WAR
[edit]Please check the talk archive of the Cold Warpage. And please do not threaten action, as this is uncivil. If you want this to be on the article, please discuss it on the Cold War talk page. WP is ruled by consensus, not by unilateral action. Hires an editor (talk) 00:19, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- If you're monitoring the Cold War page, you would have seen that the talk page was updated, and looked at it, and seen that I moved your comment from my talk page to the CW Talk page. And then you could have responded there, and done the appropriate research.
- Also, the article is up for Featured Article Status, so we don't want to make major changes to the article like you're doing without discussing it first. So, in the future, please make you thoughts known on major changes first, discuss it, get consensus, but don't just make gigantic changes without consulting anyone...Hires an editor (talk) 00:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, you don't add your discussion to the archive, you put in the main talk page. The note at the top of the archive page asks that you not alter it. Please place your comments in the main talk page. Or at least, place them after the counter-arguments that I put in the main talk page. Hires an editor (talk) 00:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Possibly unfree Image:Montage Cold War.png
[edit]An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Montage Cold War.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Megapixie (talk) 14:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Please stop reinserting inappropriate content
[edit]Please stop reinserting inappropriate content, as you have done with the remixes section of the A Milli article. The information does not meet our policies for inclusion. Please do not continue to reinsert the information, or you may be blocked from editing. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 16:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The Mexican people article contains several sources not just the CIA World Factbook. The different sources of information are balanced to provide an average estimate. Ocelotl10293 (talk) 01:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Warning
[edit] Please stop your disruptive POV deletions of other people's contributions. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mexico, you will be blocked from editing. Your actions are being reported as vandalism. Ccrazymann (talk) 04:59, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Demographics of Mexico. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Ccrazymann (talk) 05:04, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to White Mexicans. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Ocelotl10293 (talk) 22:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Demographics of Mexico
[edit]Hello. Another user has asked me to look into your edits to Demographics of Mexico. It seems that at least two users are disagreeing with your edits there, so I think it's time for you to start explaining your edits on the talk page, so all editors may come to a consensus. Repeatedly making the same change with no edit summary and no explanation can come across as vandalism (whether it is or not). I'm not sure who is right, but I note that you are removing the one source (the CIA World Factbook) which seems to disagree with your changes. If you believe that the WF should not be used as a source, please explain why on the article's talk page. Thanks. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 04:51, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Please also note that editing while logged off may be considered sock puppetry, as it may create an appearance of greater support for one's position than actually exists. Please make all edits in the future from this account. Thank you. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 05:30, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- That seems reasonable. However, you may wish to copy that comment here, as the editors with opposing views are unlikely to notice it on my talk page. I was merely asked to look into your edits, and don't really have a "side" in this discussion. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 01:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Your question about IQ
[edit]Chris_IZ_Cali, I replied to your question in my talk page but wanted to make sure it got to you.
I am not saying that Mexico's national IQ cannot be 96. I'm saying it is childish to (a) post that average on Mexico's article (and on the introductory passage!), and (b) claim that such a score is one of the highest of the world.
For the record: I am Mexican, and proud to be so, as anyone who knows me could tell you. My family tree is formed only of Mexicans as far back as I can trace it. I believe Mexicans, for whatever reason, are very ingenious people. I also believe that IQ tests are next to useless, and that they are too often misinterpreted and used to make misguided judgments about the intelligence of people based on their colour or gender. I think IQ test results should be publicized as little as possible so as not to validate them in the eyes of lay people that do not know of the tests' weaknesses. I find it annoying that you immediately suspect that this attempt at objectivity is racism. JorgeAranda (talk) 15:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
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.
