Speedy deletion nomination of Corner key edit
A tag has been placed on Corner key requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.
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. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 hangon 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.

Copyright and advertising edit
The article "Corner key" was deleted because its text was copied from this website. Wikipedia cannot accept text copied from elsewhere unless a proper copyright release has been made as explained in WP:Copyrights#Contributors' rights and obligations. Just asserting permission to use material is not enough.
In any case, even if the copyright issue were resolved, this article would be unacceptable as an advertisement: Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. There is good advice on writing acceptable articles at WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. These two items (stretcher bars & tightening keys) are used in preparing canvas for painting on. I think you are implying that they are "framing materials." Framing materials are used after the painting is completed. I reverted some edits you made at these articles. Please discuss if you disagree. Thanks. Bus stop (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- OK. I've made a few changes to both articles (stretcher bars & tightening keys). I'm accepting your interpretation including framing usages for stretcher bars. If you could add sources to the article confirming for the reader the usages that you mention for stretcher bars that would confirm this for the reader. Bus stop (talk) 12:32, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
