User talk:John sloboda

Hi, The biographical material removed was inaccurate and/or out of date. It was replaced by material which is factually accurate and up to date. I have no idea who created this page, otherwise I would have requested the author of the page to make these corrections.

There is also a section entitled publications which was empty, thus implying that I had written or edited no books. That is also inaccurate, so I simply added the books I have written or edited.

I was careful to neither add nor alter any assessment about me.

Regards, john Sloboda.

Your edits to John Sloboda[edit]

Hi, I see that you have recently removed some material (as well as added) to this page. I assume from the name you have chosen that you are the same "John Sloboda" as mentioned in the article? If so, apart from removing anything libellous, you should not really be editing an article about you, as this goes against Wikipedia policies. Do you have specific reasons for removing the material that you did? You seem to be quite notable (a Wikipedia criteria for publishing articles about living persons) as the founder of Iraq Body Count, so this increases the significance of you not making personal edits. Do you have any comments on this? Thanks. MarkThomas 14:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Chorus of Dissent[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Chorus of Dissent requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 15:53, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
