Legal threats

Latest comment: 19 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Sundogs.

If you are making legal threats over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NWA E-Fed, then you are required by our rules to leave Wikipedia immediately and to submit, in writing, a writ to our owner's attorney. Details of how to do this can be found elsewhere on this website and the attorney or solicitor you have instructed will know what to do.

If, however, you did not mean to issue a legal threat against Wikipedia regarding the deletion of the article NWA E-Fed, then I would advise you to revisit the page immediately and withdraw it. Thanks very much. ➨ ЯEDVERS 22:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

No Legal

It is not a legal issue. The merrit of this e-fed is listed in Yahoo! Search. Please tell me what I need to do to make it Up-To-Standards of Wikipedia. Thanks Sundogs.
