Please post new messages below this line: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________  The article Kerry Shirts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing Good editsThis was a good edit. My compliments. (Will you continue like this, and be a productive member of ProjChess to improve articles? Or will you sink your & others' time, going after my throat?) p.s. The word "latitudinarian" wasn't a good synonym for "wide", as it means "un-dogmatic". In any event, one is supposed to edit articles here, mindful of a projected audience of bright 12-year olds. And no bright 12-yr. old would appreciate "latitudinarian" (unless it was the only word for the context). Cheers, Ihardlythinkso (talk)
Good edits also, on Back-rank checkmate. You're showing a (previously undisclosed!) editing talent, IMO. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 09:30, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I wonder if you might consider deleting the swastika from your user page. You appear to have replaced the standard wikiproject flag (the flag of Germany) with that symbol (the Nazi flag) to reflect that you are a member of WikiProject Germany. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:35, 25 March 2013 (UTC) NoticeHello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Nazi flag on user page. Thank you. Jayjg (talk) 02:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC) Wikipedia:PILLARS Wikipedia is an encyclopediaWikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a social network, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, nor a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, nor a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are.  Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of viewWe strive for articles with an impartial tone that document and explain major points of view, giving due weight for their prominence. We avoid advocacy, and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them. In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in others we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context rather than as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy with citations based on reliable sources, especially when the topic is controversial or is about a living person. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong on Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distributeAll editors freely license their work to the public, and no editor owns an article – any contributions can and may be mercilessly edited and redistributed. Respect copyright laws and never plagiarize from any sources. Borrowing non-free media is sometimes allowed as fair use, but editors should strive to find free alternatives first.  Wikipedia's editors should treat each other with respect and civilityRespect your fellow Wikipedians, even when you disagree. Apply Wikipedia etiquette, and do not engage in personal attacks or edit wars. Seek consensus, and never disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Act in good faith, and assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming to newcomers. Should conflicts arise, discuss them calmly on the appropriate talk pages, follow dispute resolution procedures, and consider that there are 6,933,239 other articles on the English Wikipedia to improve and discuss.  Wikipedia has no firm rulesWikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making exceptions. Be bold, but not reckless, in updating articles. And do not agonize over making mistakes: they can be corrected easily because (almost) every past version of each article is saved. 02:55, 29 March 2013 (UTC) BlockPer Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Nazi flag on user page, you have been indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry (confirmed as Hefha72, strongly suspected as Wiki Brah) and for behavioural reasons (the "Starts with indef and ends with block" subsection is quite clear here ).

That was ten years ago almost. I am innocent and you are just being racist toward to Brazilians that now live in Miami. This is an outrage. Decline reason: I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons.
