I added a few template messages in regards to the section on Desmond Doss. I'm suggesting that:

1) it be edited down to a link to the respective stand-alone article on the man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_doss), much like the other items/people in the section, and

2) it follow the neutral point of view as per wikipedia policy. Which basically means no more "Praise God and country. This man is a real hero. Praise God, for Desmond." type stuff. This is an encyclopedia, not a forum for your personal opinions/viewpoints. Let me state that I have no problems with anyone's religious beliefs and/or patriotism, but a well researched article on the man will bring your point across much better than subjective phrases and religious proclamations.

I'll give it a month or so before I do the editing myself.

Regarding Aaron Latham listing in famous people from Piedmont

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

When I followed the Aaron Latham link, it took me to an article about a completely different person than the one listed as a high school quarterback/hero from Piedmont. Since these are likely two different people, I question whether the high school quarterback/hero should be listed under famous people from the town.68.219.151.23 03:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request
