A tag has been placed on Edward John Jones requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://borthmaritimehistory.com/CAPTAIN%20EDWARD%20JOHN%20JONES.html. 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 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 "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. Bazj ( talk) 11:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello Trooper201,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged James "Jamie" E. Smith for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Musa Talk 01:14, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Sharpe series characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Welsh. 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.

Hi Trooper201,
Thank you for your edits on South African locomotives regarding preserved engines. You are however not always correct with your information when one considers that most of the locomotives can in no way be considered as preserved.
A couple of other concerns:
I’ve just spent a year working through all of these articles for the umpteenth time. Now, I’m 69 with cancer and I will probably not be able to go through another such large editing/expansion/updating exercise. I’m therefore going to go through all your edits for the past month and where I find inaccuracies as mentioned above, I’ll undo them or roll them back. Those I undo or rollback will show up on your watchlist, so please work through them again and replace your information, but this time observing the distinction between preserved and in storage and with citations/references added.
Please help me to make and keep these articles the best they can be! André Kritzinger ( talk) 14:39, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Colby, Here is a site that will be of tremendous help to you: http://steam-locomotives-south-africa.blogspot.co.za/ Look at the column on the right, then scroll right down to the bottom. There are links, by class and number, to a page on every surviving South African steam locomotive. I just did another edit of the Class 24 and this list enabled me to add several Class 24s to the list – Numbers 3611, 3612, 3638 and 3652. A couple of tips:
