October 2012

Hello, I'm Gyrofrog. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Somalia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I've removed it for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 08:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2013

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Indio, California, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 14:01, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citations needed in US Woodland

Please do not remove citations needed tags without very good cause; the presence of such a tag indicates that a claim has been challenged, so a citation is necessary.

Further, as noted by other editors here on this talk page, please be very careful not to add claims that have already been subject to challenge - calling US Woodland "M81" has been intensely, even angrily, argued over by a number of editors (not me, as it happens). Therefore, adding such a claim without evidence is undesirable.

The rule of thumb for content editing is to provide a citation for every fact - it's much easier to do this when you are consulting a source, than to try to retrieve the source reference after the fact. All the best --- Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Enough with the "M81" fanboy nonsense

Woodland camouflage was NEVER called "M81" by ANY component of the US Department of Defense.

Stop your useless insertion of this crap into camouflage articles. If it's "M81" cite just a single instance of this usage from someone authoritative. Hong Kong airsoft gear-peddlers and videogame circlejerkers do not count. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.185.105 (talk) 13:11, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of California wildfires, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Orange County (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:52, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of October 1993 California wildfires

The article October 1993 California wildfires has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page is entirely WP:OR with no sources and not about a particular fire.

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.

Your maps

Hello, I am a fan of the new maps you have been adding to Wikipedia, but was wondering if you could make a version of your map without any borers at all, and just showing lakes and oceans. I was also wondering if you could make borders clearer on your WWII map, for example the General Government. Thankyou. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JWarrenator (talk • contribs) 17:46, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
