USMC

So it seems that photos from US military websites are public domain, and I can't see any reason why the US Marine Corps Commandant's Own Drum & Bugle Corps would be any exception. I was thinking, is there anything about the Commandant's Own in the article? They are, as far as I am aware, the only professional (true) drum and bugle corps in existence, with other professional organisations such as Star of Indiana's blast! and Cyberjam merely spin-offs of the activity. Maybe you or I could add a word or two about these. I think I will read through the article again and try to think of anything that has been omitted (to my knowledge). --Sbutler 10:56, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

And I was right, I have uploaded a good one overlooking DCI retreat 2002 showing the backs of the Commandant's Own as they played in the stands

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:04, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Emergency Planning Society

Hello Sbutler,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Emergency Planning Society for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:49, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Barkeep49, I have contested the deletion at Talk:Emergency Planning Society though I understand why you tagged the article and invite any further comments you may have there. —Sbutler (talk) 11:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Speedy Deletion

Hello, Sbutler. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created , Emergency Planning Society, has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.

Any deficiencies should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.

The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process.
