If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

Disambiguation link notification for June 9
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thunder in the Morning Calm (novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Classified (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Death of the Fox
[edit]
The article Death of the Fox has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- I couldn't find much more than basic mentions of this book with a Web search (although generally, I suck at searching). Do you have evidence that there are enough secondary sources that we could have a verifiable article about this book? Wikipedia:Notability (books) may also be helpful.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. --ais523 04:43, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Freddy and the French Fries: Fries Alive!
[edit]The article Freddy and the French Fries: Fries Alive! has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Subject is utterly non-notable. Worldcat shows a mere six holdings. See WP:NBOOK. This should be a speedy delete but books are not covered by CSD A-7.

Travesty of Justice
[edit]Hi - I'm a NPP reviewer, and was looking at TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE: The Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance just now, when I noticed that you had already created Travesty of Justice: the Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance. As far as I can tell, the two are identical except for the capitalisation of the title - I'm assuming that you simply weren't sure how to go about changing the title, so just recreated the page at a new title? I think the original title is correct (per MOS:ALLCAPS), so I'm going to review the original title, and nominate the second title for speedy deletion - let me know if you have any questions. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 15:26, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Your contributed article, TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE: The Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE: The Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Travesty of Justice: the Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance. 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 continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Travesty of Justice: the Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 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. GirthSummit (blether) 15:27, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Ways to improve Travesty of Justice: the Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance
[edit]Hello, Bobeldridge,
Thanks for creating Travesty of Justice: the Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance! I edit here too, under the username Girth Summit and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
The book reviews are good enough for facts about the book itself, but it would be good to get some more reliable sources to support the assertions about Lorance himself - presumably there are news articles covering his conviction, arrest, and the fact that he is still in Fort Leavenworth? Cheers
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Girth Summit}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

The article Fire of the Raging Dragon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Does not meet WP:NBOOK. The last three references are not about the book. The World link is only a mention in a review of another book. The WZZM reference is dead and is from the hometown of the publisher, Zondervan. The Google Books and the FictionDB references only establish that the book exists. I can't find any other substantive reviews online.
