    [[William A. Eddy]]

    Richard, Thank you for starting the article on Colonel Bill Eddy. A fascinating man! I was unaware of his story until you wrote this article. A very nice addition to Wikipedia. (In keeping with Wikipedia guidelines, the article has been moved to have the title "William A. Eddy" (though Colonel Bill Eddy still exists as a redirect). — ERcheck (talk) 23:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

    [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Afrita hanem]]

    Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg

    The article Afrita hanem has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

    If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{tl|prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can {{#ifexist:Afrita hanem|request that it be undeleted|request that it be undeleted}} when you are ready to add one.

    This article was not on a person, living or dead, it was an article on a film. Please read the articles in the future before mis-tagging them. I have, however, added a reference.Richard ruffian (talk) 21:06, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
