My user and talk page policies

I have noted that a few other Wikipedians have started posting such disclaimers, and I feel that I must as well, as my user page and talk page have been vandalized at various times.

1. Vandalism will be reverted on sight. Period.
2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated and will be reported on sight. Period.
3. Defamatory statements will be removed AND reported on sight. Period.

I have read over MANY of the primary Wikipedia policies, and I do ask that other editors do the same, even newbies. I CAN AND WILL UPHOLD THEM.

Signed and updated,

Work on Monopoly History Page

John, I'm going through my records having filmed interviews with many US & World Monopoly Champions to fully flesh out a history of ALL the country and world championships, not just US & Canada. I doubt that it will make sense to have 1 table large enough to contain all the countries, so we may want to revert the changes you made in reorganizing the tournament winners sometime in the future.

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Monopoly (game), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- DonIago (talk) 18:21, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Suburban Prairie Conference

The article Suburban Prairie Conference has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No notability asserted

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
