[edit] Deleted page "Kiangsi-Fukien Operation"

Hi. A page you created, or image you uploaded, Kiangsi-Fukien Operation, has been deleted in accordance with our speedy deletion policy, as it meets one or more of our criteria for speedy deletion. The relevant criterion is:

Blatant copyright infringement which meets these parameters: material was copied from another website which does not have a license compatible with Wikipedia; there is no non-infringing content in the page history worth saving; the infringement was introduced at once by a single person rather than created organically on wiki and then copied by another website such as one of the many Wikipedia mirrors; uploader does not assert permission (for images: no assertion aside from tags) or fair use, or the assertion is questionable.

You are welcome to rewrite your contribution to comply with our content policies and any applicable notability guidelines (you may find this page useful). However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content; it will be deleted again and may be protected from re-creation. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article. If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you – Gurch 08:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of foreign residents in Japan

Hi Torn,

You created List of foreign residents in Japan (December 1941) but neglected to provide any references. A list such as this really needs a reference or it will be deleted as original research and/or unverifiable material.

The topic does seem like it might be encyclopediacally relevant, but a source would be greatly appreciated and it would clarify the exact scope of this list and allow correct attribution to the material.--ZayZayEM 07:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
