Pyrrhic
(from my talk):
Thanks for correcting my mistake on the Battle of the Kasserine Pass. What I was trying to do was give a reference for explaining that the victory by the Axis was a Phyrric victory. The source was Readers Digest's video series The Crucial Turning Points of World War 2, narrated by Peter Thomas—Preceding unsigned comment added by Zonafan39 (talk • contribs) 16:44, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
No problem. I was mainly looking to fix the display. The discussion of whether Pyrrhic should be there or not should take place at Talk:Battle of Kasserine Pass. In general, I think the infobox is intended to be more general and the details are discussed in the text. And I would not be surprised if they look for a more scholarly source for this information. Oh, if you enter ~~~~ at the end of your talk page updates, it will create something like this: (John User:Jwytalk) 18:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Maryse Ouellet. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 16:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{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 request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 03:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:Brenda_Brabham.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Brenda_Brabham.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 10:29, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:Tricia Yen.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Tricia Yen.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
Greetings Zonafan39/Archive 4, I see you're up for adoption, and I'm in the market. If ever you need advice or answers, just ask me -- any question, any time. I'd like to help however I can. Happy editing - Draeco (talk) 21:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your offer, and I do have my first question for you. I have noticed a lot of vandalism going on on a particular page. Ho do I go about requesting that it be semi protected? Zonafan39 (talk) 05:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
I've been incomunicado recently; sorry I've taken so long to respond to your question. You request protections at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. You may find this rough guide to be a helpful overview, though the true policy page is here. - Draeco (talk) 18:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
It's a travesty Churchill Building was listed for deletion, as I opined at its AfD page. I think it will be kept, but don't let it get you down either way. You've done good work there. - Draeco (talk) 23:59, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated Churchill Building, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Churchill Building. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Codf1977 (talk) 09:44, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%. As of June 6, we are at 7.67%, with 375 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage.
This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of vandalism and speculation: professional wrestling events from major promotions for the month of June.
This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.
A list of unreferenced wrestling-related BLPs is generated here. Please help out by sourcing these articles.
Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.
Please consider helping out with the project's 2010 Resolutions, and help achieve one of the goals listed.

Images of Historic Places
Whenever you start a new article on a place listed on the National Register of Historic Places, please check to see if an image exists. I notice that you requested one for Belmont Hotel (Madison, Wisconsin). It was taken 1 year before you requested it. Images can be found in the county's article. I took many images of Wisconsin places on the National Register including some in Dane County but none in Madison. Royalbroil 04:14, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Hotel Loraine-Ambassador Philip Kaiser
Hi! You may want to expand the article about the Hotel Loraine in Madison. In the 1930s the hotel was a scene of a civil rights demostration. The hotel denied rooms to Afro-Americans. Consequently, there was a demostration in front of the hotel-the Wisconsin Legislature eventually passed a civil rights law for Wisconsin. One of the demostrators who took part in the protest was Ambassador Philip Mayer Kaiser-an undergraduate student at UW at the time. Ambassador Kaiser mentioned the protest in his memoirs and I believe the Wisconsin Historical Society wrote an article about this-Many thanks-RFD (talk) 12:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't restore removed comments
I noticed that on User:75.47.152.100's talk page you warned the user for removing vandalism warnings from the page. However, if you read WP:DRC, it is Wikipedia policy to allow users to delete prior warnings from their user talk pages, for they have the right to do this. Just giving you a heads up.

Citation templates
Greetings and thank you for your continued contributions. I noticed you wish to get the List of tallest buildings in Madison article up to featured list some day. One thing that is important for that is that the sources are all properly cited. It's generally best to use these citation templates, and in particular this one for web sites. Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, P. D. CookTalk to me! 15:24, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey brother, sorry it's taken a while for me to respond. I think you have a great start and it can indeed become a good article. However, due to my lack of experience in good/featured article buffing and lack of time after starting medical residency, I can't offer many helpful suggestions. You might ask at Wikipedia:Peer review. Good luck - Draeco (talk) 03:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
