All of the above are prime examples of why I don't waste my time uploading images. Unless you took the picture yourself it just gets deleted...unless its uploaded to commons and its porn, then its fine. Kumioko (talk) 02:50, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, some of the people nominating things for deletion are rather undiscriminating in their selections. If it doesn't have the proper template in the properly filled in manner, it gets a speedy deletion tag, instead of actually fixing the errors (like a typo in the parameter name, or placing info into the wrong parameter) or examining the edithistory/uploadhistory for the missing information (such as well there's a bot error deleting information) Some of these deletionists even think that sourcing means requiring a live URL, so anything without a URL is "unsourced" regardless of non-URL sourcing, or the fact that X years has passed since upload and the source has died in the meantime. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 04:33, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with article "United States debt ceiling"

I've made a massive edit to an American template. Thoughts?

I've recently edited the US enlisted ranks template to include all insignias and the seals of each branch. This was an addition of 3,934 characters. A before and after comparison can be found here. Soffredo (talk) 01:02, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks great to me. You may want to leave a note on the Military history project though. This project isn't very active and your probably going to get a more helpful response there. Happy editing. Kumioko (talk) 01:11, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
