Edits at The Great Debate at Maybole

Hello Gdoak. I see you reverted my edit at the above article. The reason for my edit was that the page's contents represent a copyright infringement: Wikipedia cannot reproduce copyrighted material. The page's creator reported on the article talk page that he had consent from the original author to use the content, but there is a formal procedure for verifying this content. Until it is completed, the page's contents should be replaced with a copyright notice placeholder. This is what my edit had done. I've therefore reverted your edit in turn, so as to remove the copyrighted content from view. If you have any questions about what I've done feel free to ask me on my talk page. Many thanks.

Thank you very much I didn't realize that. Gdoak (talk) 22:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Southord

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Southord requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mr. Berty ^talk/_stalk 15:04, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks for the update. What could i put in to make it seem more necessary to be put in an encyclopedia? Gdoak (talk) 15:52, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
