A tag has been placed on St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Darien, Georgia) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.exploregeorgia.org/listing/4270-st-andrews-episcopal-church. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
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 "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. reddogsix ( talk) 02:22, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Reb1981. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Reb1981, thanks for creating Butler Island Plantation!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Interesting article, thanks. This phrase, "Major Pierce Butler, who was one of the founding fathers of the United States and supported of slavery." is a bit odd.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Hi Reb1981, You accepted my Sweden EHS facts. Thank you for that. However they were subsequently removed. The talk is at: /info/en/?search=Talk:Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity#Sweden_EHS
If you would like to add any input it would be appreciated. I think the edit is factual based and there should be no reason that we can't mention Sweden recognized this condition. Some people seem to think this should not be mentioned because the condition is not real, which hardly makes sense. This is real fact that this entire country recognizes these people and provides help for them.

Heya, very randomly came across your page (you reviewed some stub pages I did some preliminary work on). Completely unrelated to that, I was wondering if you had any good resources for learning about military operations? I've wanted to do more edits of military-related topics myself, but should probably develop a better basic understanding before making any overly-dramatic edits. By any chance could I pester you for some pointers on good places to start learning? Cheers! PvOberstein ( talk) 03:28, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
The article contradicts itself and contains incorrect information. The contradiction is between the following two statements:
1. "To increase efficiency and combat readiness, on 20 April 1967, the squadron was redesignated as Carrier Airborne Early Warning Wing 11 while the various detachments were established as separate individual VAW squadrons.[2] "
2. "The squadron disestablished and redesignated VAW-111 and named "Grey Berets" in 1967. On 8 October 1967, while operating from USS Oriskany, a squadron E-1B #148132 crashed into a mountain near Danang killing all 5 passengers and crew.[3] The squadron was decommissioned in 1976. The squadron was briefly reestablished on 1 October 1986 until 30 April 1988[4]"
The first statement is correct, the second is not. On 20 April 1967 VAW-11 became Airborne Early Warning WING-11 and its detachments became VAW-111, VAW-112, VAW-113, VAW-114, VAW-115 and VAW-116. That is what the first statement says and that is correct. The second statement says that the squadron was "disestablished and redesignated VAW-111". That contradicts statement #1; also, it is not possible to disestablish a squadron and then redesignate it. If you read OPNAVINST 5030.4G which is the current iteration of OPNAVINST 5030.4E which was dated 19 March 1998 you will see that prior to the issuance of that instruction, squadrons could be either disestablished or they could be redesignated, it was not possible to do both. Once a squadron had been disestablished it ceased to exist. Redesignation was something that an existing squadron could undergo, not something that could happen to a squadron once it had been disestablished. According to the first (correct) statement; when VAW-11 became the WING, its former detachments were all established as separate squadrons (one of which was VAW-111). VAW-11 was not redesignated VAW-111 anymore that it was redesignated VAW-112, 113, 114, 115 or 116. If you review the opening section of the "List of inactive United States Navy Aircraft Squadrons" article it may help explain the Navy's system for establishment, redesignation and disestablishment (prior to OPNAVINST 5030.4E) and establishment, redesignation, deactivation and possible reactivation (subsequent to OPNAVINST 5030.4G). OPNAVINST 5030.4G can be found on the Naval History and Heritage Command web site at https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/naval-aviation-history/insignias/navy-aviation-insignia-instruction.html

Hi, Reb1981. I would like to discuss about Deadpool's species. Indeed, Deadpool's origin history suggests that he is a mutate but many comics say otherwise, such as in "Wolverine Encyclopedia" issue 1, which states that his healing factor is a mutant trait. If you wish to prolong this debate, i still have many other sources to prove my argument. Therealdeal20 ( talk) 22:37, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
It would be interesting if you continued the debate further, unless if you agree with my arguments on the discussion article about Deadpool's species. Then, i would know if i am actually allowed to edit his species again.

Hi, I got a note that an addition I made wasn't verifiable. I had added the fact that RIFA, red imported fire ants, are found in North Carolina at present. You said that's not a verifiable fact, which folks living here would love to be true...but unfortunately they're all over the place. I spend too many hours treating RIFA mounds on my land every year, as does most every other property owner in these parts; I'm located pretty near the center of eastern NC. The little buggers have been here for decades. Anyway, for online verification please have a look at https://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/Urban/ifa.htm . That was the first hit I got when Googling "fire ants North Carolina". According to that page, from the joint NC Cooperative Extension Service / NC State University website, RIFA can be found in 71 of the 100 counties in the State.
Please don't be so quick to discount something when it's so easily verified.

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Thanks for the constructive crit. on Jacob HaGozer. I fixed some of it, and got a different source, although I still can't find more than one reliable source (Jewish Encyclopedia, as opposed to encyclopedia.com). Ephraimhelfgot ( talk) 14:20, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Reb1981, You accepted my Sweden EHS facts. Thank you for that. However they were subsequently removed. The talk is at: /info/en/?search=Talk:Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity#Sweden_EHS
If you would like to add any input it would be appreciated. I think the edit is factual based and there should be no reason that we can't mention Sweden recognized this condition. Some people seem to think this should not be mentioned because the condition is not real, which hardly makes sense. This is real fact that this entire country recognizes these people and provides help for them.

Hello Jeremy, you reviewed and copy edited the Trolleybuses in Belgrade page which I wrote. Thanks. You also posted a clarification note at the end of the section Future. Could you tell me what should be fixed, so that I could change it. Thanks again. PajaBG ( talk) 11:36, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
Heya, very randomly came across your page (you reviewed some stub pages I did some preliminary work on). Completely unrelated to that, I was wondering if you had any good resources for learning about military operations? I've wanted to do more edits of military-related topics myself, but should probably develop a better basic understanding before making any overly-dramatic edits. By any chance could I pester you for some pointers on good places to start learning? Cheers! PvOberstein ( talk) 03:28, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
The article contradicts itself and contains incorrect information. The contradiction is between the following two statements:
1. "To increase efficiency and combat readiness, on 20 April 1967, the squadron was redesignated as Carrier Airborne Early Warning Wing 11 while the various detachments were established as separate individual VAW squadrons.[2] "
2. "The squadron disestablished and redesignated VAW-111 and named "Grey Berets" in 1967. On 8 October 1967, while operating from USS Oriskany, a squadron E-1B #148132 crashed into a mountain near Danang killing all 5 passengers and crew.[3] The squadron was decommissioned in 1976. The squadron was briefly reestablished on 1 October 1986 until 30 April 1988[4]"
The first statement is correct, the second is not. On 20 April 1967 VAW-11 became Airborne Early Warning WING-11 and its detachments became VAW-111, VAW-112, VAW-113, VAW-114, VAW-115 and VAW-116. That is what the first statement says and that is correct. The second statement says that the squadron was "disestablished and redesignated VAW-111". That contradicts statement #1; also, it is not possible to disestablish a squadron and then redesignate it. If you read OPNAVINST 5030.4G which is the current iteration of OPNAVINST 5030.4E which was dated 19 March 1998 you will see that prior to the issuance of that instruction, squadrons could be either disestablished or they could be redesignated, it was not possible to do both. Once a squadron had been disestablished it ceased to exist. Redesignation was something that an existing squadron could undergo, not something that could happen to a squadron once it had been disestablished. According to the first (correct) statement; when VAW-11 became the WING, its former detachments were all established as separate squadrons (one of which was VAW-111). VAW-11 was not redesignated VAW-111 anymore that it was redesignated VAW-112, 113, 114, 115 or 116. If you review the opening section of the "List of inactive United States Navy Aircraft Squadrons" article it may help explain the Navy's system for establishment, redesignation and disestablishment (prior to OPNAVINST 5030.4E) and establishment, redesignation, deactivation and possible reactivation (subsequent to OPNAVINST 5030.4G). OPNAVINST 5030.4G can be found on the Naval History and Heritage Command web site at https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/naval-aviation-history/insignias/navy-aviation-insignia-instruction.html

Hi, Reb1981. I would like to discuss about Deadpool's species. Indeed, Deadpool's origin history suggests that he is a mutate but many comics say otherwise, such as in "Wolverine Encyclopedia" issue 1, which states that his healing factor is a mutant trait. If you wish to prolong this debate, i still have many other sources to prove my argument. Therealdeal20 ( talk) 22:37, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
It would be interesting if you continued the debate further, unless if you agree with my arguments on the discussion article about Deadpool's species. Then, i would know if i am actually allowed to edit his species again.

Hi, I got a note that an addition I made wasn't verifiable. I had added the fact that RIFA, red imported fire ants, are found in North Carolina at present. You said that's not a verifiable fact, which folks living here would love to be true...but unfortunately they're all over the place. I spend too many hours treating RIFA mounds on my land every year, as does most every other property owner in these parts; I'm located pretty near the center of eastern NC. The little buggers have been here for decades. Anyway, for online verification please have a look at https://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/Urban/ifa.htm . That was the first hit I got when Googling "fire ants North Carolina". According to that page, from the joint NC Cooperative Extension Service / NC State University website, RIFA can be found in 71 of the 100 counties in the State.
Please don't be so quick to discount something when it's so easily verified.

Very well, but I don't understand why you need a source for NC and not for the other seven states listed. Seems kind of arbitrary. 67.237.81.215 ( talk) 23:52, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
