SS President for DYK?

Hello, GRUBBXDN. I have nominated SS President, an article written by you, for WP:DYK. You can see at the proposed hook (a one-liner to be used on MainPage) here. If you are interested in having your work featured on Wikipedia's MainPage, please review the comments and respond there at your eariest convenience. What the DYK clerks want is more footnotes and specific referencing in the article, particularly about the facts in the hook. Please feel free to post alternate hooks there. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 20:42, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:A&P Store 1880s.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:A&P Store 1880s.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

June 2013

Hello, GRUBBXDN. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 16:45, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed descriptions of the publications, as they appear to have been self-sourced. Information about the books may be expanded, if the content is accompanied by non-primary sources. Thank you, 76.248.151.159 (talk) 16:45, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

November 2015

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 15:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
