Hello John, thank you very much for your article. I accepted it because it ticks all the basic boxes, but there is still work to do in terms of formatting. I've fixed the section headings already, you should note that across the encylopedia they are all in Sentence case, And Not Like This, for example. Take a look at the Simplified Manual of Style, and rules for when bold, italics and ALL CAPS should be used, for your article contains much of this which should really be taken out. Thanks, ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 09:50, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you!

		The Original Barnstar
		John, thank you very much for your article GIs Against Fascism. I learned something today. Please keep up the good work and if you have any problems with the editing software or the sometimes incomprehensible rules and culture here at English Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to contact me on my user page or directly by email at ShoeHutch@gmail.com Best regards, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 13:46, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Also

I will add that in the future you should just start your articles in "mainspace" without going through the Articles for Creation bureaucracy. You've got the hang of it. Just make sure that any topic you touch has at least 3 good independently published sources dealing substantially with the topic and of presumed reliability in the footnotes and life will be golden. It would also be a strategically good thing for you to start a "User Page" as soon as possible, as people without user pages draw extra scrutiny from the New Page Patrol people, and that's not where you wanna draw extra scrutiny. Just click the View User Page redlink below and start typing. Thanks again for your efforts. —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 13:50, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:

Sorry I didn't provide my IP address. I'm new to all this. Here it is: 108.171.135.166. This is my IP at work. When I'm home it would be different. Those are the only 2 IPs I use for editing Wikipedia. Thanks. Note: I just checked the list of blocked users and I'm not on it. Does that mean I'm already unblocked? Follow-up Note: I just tried to edit something and I am still blocked. JohnKent (talk) 17:54, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That IP address belongs to ScanSafe, which functions as an open proxy. You'll need to disable that in order to edit. Note, doing so may have consequences to your security. Yamla (talk) 18:35, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Charles Morgan Jr. into Captain Howard Levy. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 19:42, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:TheNewLegionsBookCover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:TheNewLegionsBookCover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Voice of the Lumpen

Just had a short look at your marvelous work on GI newspapers. Just as an aside: the Frankfurt Solidariätskommitee (see esp Maria Höhn's very detailed essays), founded by K D Wolff, the last head of German SDS, if I remember correctly, and later Maoist and head of the Frankfurt a. M. Verlag Roter Stern. Various members of the Panthers Solidarity Commitee and the Roter Stern publishers went on to co?-found the Revolutionäre Zellen terrorist group (in some sense at least as important as the Baader/Meinhof RAF) and later on became very important members of Carlos's group - some died "in action". --2001:9E8:5661:1100:D948:27AC:D006:4EB4 (talk) 12:50, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Servicemen anti-Vietnam War ad NY Times 9Nov1969.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Servicemen anti-Vietnam War ad NY Times 9Nov1969.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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:

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

Myth of the Spat Upon Vietnam Vet

I hate to badger you on your talk page....but you need to weigh in on the talk page of the Myth of the spat upon Vet as to what that article will ultimately be about. If it is about spitting alone, then a lot of things need to come out. Considering the fact you are working on a similar article in your Sandbox, it may be a case where stuff gets shifted around when that is done. But whatever is the case, as the article creator, we need your input. Thanks. Rja13ww33 (talk) 20:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
