PROD WARNING!

{==Judge Joseph F. Weis Jr.== A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Judge Joseph F. Weis Jr., suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, in regards to the information coming from the person himself, that is still not allowed.. Please see What Wikipedia is not, Policies Regarding Autobiographies, and Policies on biographies of living persons for more information. Long story short, I'm afraid that all information regarding him, even though it is directly from him, is still subject to the same notability and Verifiability policies as all other articles on the site. Therefore, I am afraid that at this point it does either require deletion, or serious cleanup. Also, the article is not allowed to be "run by him" as Users cannot own articles, and the article must be allowed to be edited by any user. If you can find some good sources to verify it, then that is excellent, and it will no longer be eligible for deletion. However, at this time (as you removed the PROD) I must nominate it for deletion, at Wikipedia's Articles for Deletion section. I apologize to have to do that. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. --HAL2008 talk 01:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, upon doing much more research, and editing the Google search parameters a bit, Judge Joseph does actually have some good sources on him. Therefore, I will NOT be nominating the article for deletion. I will only be adding a "no-sources" template to it, which must remain until all statements have been verified. If you need help verifying the statements, I'll help. I'm going to be working on that now for you, so just tell me if you need some help. --HAL2008 talk 01:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

References:

Hey, I know that you were wondering about references. Alright, there's actually several ways to do it. Your best bet, though, is to do make references for each source, I like to do it per main paragraph or section, unless the information contained in one sentence is from a different source then the rest of it. But it's up to you. Alright, what I use to source, is the following codes. This first section is for website sources. Statement that you are making, based on information received from a website goes here (or paragraph, or however long you make it)<ref>INSERT URL OF WEBSITE USED HERE (the http://www... or whatever)</ref>

You do that for however many sources you have. When you are done, it will look like this: Statement that you're making, blah blah blah (wikipedia is the link, just so it's a valid example)

Alright, when you're done with that, at the bottom of your article, you just make a section called "References" like this: ==References:== As you know, the "==TEXT==" is for section headers. The references go above the "See also" and "external links" sections by the way. In that section, you put the {{reflist}} code, and that's it. The computer will automatically add the references section, based on your <ref></ref> notes in the article. I wrote an article using my system, Hibiscus Children's Center, if you want to take a look at it. If you need any more help, just tell me!

Also, there's an adoption program on Wikipedia, where experiences editors (not me, I'm still fairly new) can adopt new editors, I'm actually about to graduate from the program now, and it's taught me all kinds of stuff. Oh! And before I forget, on talk pages, it's actually more useful to add a signature, you do that by going --~~~~, the two dashes are just usually used as a courtesy, and the 4 tildas (~) will add your username, with an automatic link to your userpage, it's actually a lot easier, and is considered courtesy on Wikipedia, but you're still new, so you're OK!

Hope I could help, and have a good one! --HAL2008 talk 14:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Judge Joseph F. Weis Jr..jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Judge Joseph F Weis Jr..jpg. The copy called Image:Judge Joseph F Weis Jr..jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 02:30, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Croatia. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 17:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Balkan-related vandalism

In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Bobcat. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 14:11, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Bobcat. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Favonian (talk) 14:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
