[edit] Speedy deletion of One Day In Peace
A tag has been placed on One Day In Peace requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Images
It looks like you've had a hard time getting some of your content in to the wikipedia! Just FYI: the image you added to Institutional racism is up for deletion because of copyright problems. I imagine that the images from the AP might fall under "fair use" under the circumstances, but whoever synthesized the images to show an example of Institutional racism should be credited (was that you? if so could you change the license you have selected?)
Well, in any case, welcome to the wikipedia-- sorry things have started out so bureaucratic I had a similar experience with images when I first started editing.

You can respond to me right here on your own talk page. I have it on my watch list. Do you create the image? futurebird (talk) 18:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC) No, I'm not on facebook, I don't think. I don't think I can do anything about the photo being deleted if you didn't create it. :( I even wonder if "fair use" would permit that synthesis of images. They take image copyright pretty seriously here, and its not such a bad things because it means that all of the content in the wikipedia can be used freely. I hope you stick around even if this image thing doesn't work out. I'm going to put a template on your user page with some links that I hope will help you become more familiar with the wikipedia: futurebird (talk) 20:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
