Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:46, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This edit made me stop short as I was reviewing watchlisted articles. I have not reverted the edit, but I came close to doing so. The edit appears to stretch reliance on this cited source past the breaking point. Actually, the source cited looks questionable to me WP:RS-wise. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:42, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May 2011

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Emilio Aguinaldo. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. I have reverted a number of your edits here, commenting in the edit summary, "POV, unsupported".

• your insertion of the word, "victorious", is unsupported and appears to be a POV characterization of the relevant history.
• your insertion of "or War of Philippine Independence" might have stood as an alternative appellation, if it had been supported.
• your insertion of "and and struck the first major blow against [[American_imperialism|US imperialism]" is unsupported and highly POV.
• your insertion of "and one of the greatest military generals of the Philippines" is unsupported and highly POV.

Please provide an edit summary when making changes. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:13, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to History of Filipino Americans. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to History of Filipino Americans. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles

Thanks for all of your work on Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles. I see one issue with your editing, which you may not be aware of. We are not supposed to include external links in the text. For example, this sentence has two external links:

• The Historic Filipinotown Neighborhood Council leads the effort for cultural, political, and economic development in the District.

If the links are important they should be included in an "external links" section at the end, or if they are used as sources they should be placed in footnotes at the end of the sentence. See WP:EL for more info.   Will Beback  talk  03:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm disappointed that you have not responded here. If I don't hear from you and if you don't fix the problem yourself I'll have to do it, and I'm too busy to do it as carefully as you probably would.

Another concern is that you are undoing the corrections I've made to the headings.[1] Headings follow "sentence case", meaning that only the first word and subsequent proper nouns are capitalized. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Article titles, headings, and sections.

Please respond to let me know that you've read and understood my posts here.   Will Beback  talk  23:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I reverted you inserted of an embedded URL into article text. This is forbidder per WP:WL. Best,

October 2013

Hello, I'm EuroCarGT. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Little Manila because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks. ///EuroCarGT 23:38, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:HIFINC Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:HIFINC Logo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [e-mail].

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.

Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Little Tokyo. 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.
