Disambiguation link notification for February 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Terrorism Research Center, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian Jenkins (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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Terrorism Research Center LOGO.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Terrorism Research Center LOGO.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Replaceable fair use File:An illustration of the Interposing Tactics Concept created by Dr Chris Flaherty.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:An illustration of the Interposing Tactics Concept created by Dr Chris Flaherty.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:58, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Conflict of interest

Hi. I notice that you are using your real name and adding articles you've written as references to articles. This isn't actually prohibited, but I recommend you read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest to be sure you understand our policies. Deb (talk) 11:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalisation of headings

The Wikipedia style for capitalising headings is to use "sentence case" instead of "title case", e.g.,

Important things to know about this subject

not:

Important Things to Know About This Subject

This may be unfamiliar to many editors who believe that or have been taught that "title case is the right way to capitalise headings". It isn't the "right way", it is one style. Wikipedia has, for better or worse, chosen to follow a different style, i.e., capitalise the heading the same way you would capitalise any sentence:

capitalise the first word,
capitalise any proper nouns (people, places, organisations), and
begin all other words with lower case letters.

See WP:HEAD for more information. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 00:20, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also

Another thing you should keep an eye out for is that a standard sentence structure in written English is "Subject verb object." For example:

"The dog bit the man."
"I ate my lunch."

Inserting a comma between the subject and the verb is incorrect. This errors seems to come up frequently in articles to which you have contributed some or all of the content. We do not write:

"The dog, bit the man."
"I, ate my lunch."

I hope that helps. Regards, Ground Zero | t 02:46, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
