Your corrections at fishing rod
editHi LSUFish09, welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. However, there is something I think you should be aware of. "Fibre" and "centre" are not spelling errors; they are British variant spellings of "fiber" and "center". Additionally, on Wikipedia the guideline is that unless an article has strong national ties, the spelling variant already in place should be respected (to avoid edit wars between users). Take a look at this page for more information on variant spellings on Wikipedia. Thanks, and happy editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:15, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Template:Poveromo, George. "Rod Savvy." Salt Water Sportsman 77.3 (2016): 31-34. SPORTDiscus with Full Text. Web. 16 Feb. 2016., a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/find-right-fishing-rod. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —PC-XT+ 19:27, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
