Speedy deletion nomination of Exostar LLC edit
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 Exostar LLC, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.exostar.com/Executive-Management/. (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 "Click here to 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.

January 2015 edit
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. Bellerophon talk to me 11:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Talk pages edit
I know you're new to Wikipedia, but please do not remove posts from other people's talk pages. It's considered very bad form. Continuing to do it is generally blockable behaviour. You may remove posts from your own talk page, but WP:ARCHIVEing is strongly encouraged. Bellerophon talk to me 17:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Mary Emmons edit
Hi @Va23Tarheel, I see you left a message on User_talk:103.250.118.56. Thanks for sharing that message! I'm really glad that you found this page, I hope you'll have more information about Mary Emmons's life that we could add to the article.
We'd definitely be able to update the page to note that Mary Emmons's place of birth is disputed. However, we need to find a source saying that it is disputed, only then can we add it to Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:No original research.
Happy to chat further about this and help! Llightex (talk) 20:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC) the only thing that I have that actually states her background was written by Joseph Wilson in the 1800s. The elite of our people. She could have been of both Indian and Haitian descent, but removing the hatian descent detaches John Pierre from the African American community, in which he, his wife, and his children were very much involved as Free Blacks. No one has any definitive information on her origin, except that she was black.
