Hi. I'm afraid we have had to delete some of your articles. This is nothing personal against the people written about, or against you, but because of Wikipedia policy. We have to have rules for who gets an article here, and it has already been decided that a person who is killed in battle is not noteworthy just because of that. If this were not the case there would have to be literally millions of articles about such people.
You are welcome to add articles about soldiers who have shown extreme courage and been rewarded by (for example) very rare medals of honour, or who have held very senior posts. It is advisable to make these things clear in the article. DJ Clayworth 17:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Please be aware that we cannot accept contributions that have been copied from elsewhere on the web. Doing so is illegal. Please rewrite any articles in your own words. DJ Clayworth 17:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
