Speedy deletion nomination of Philadelphia's Magic Gardens[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 Philadelphia's Magic Gardens 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. 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. 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Referencing issues[edit]

I removed the CSD notice relating to copyright issues. (You are not allowed to, but anyone else can.)

I did not do a thorough check, but it appears that the notice arrived when the wording may have been too close to http://www.phillymagicgardens.org/about/general. It looks like rewording has taken place, and it is no longer an obvious copyright violation.

However, many other issues remain.

Referencing in the Wikipedia style can be tricky. I suggest reading Referencing for beginners.--SPhilbrick T 19:38, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, direct quotes, if presented as quotes, and properly referenced, are quite OK, even desirable. They must be relevant and sufficiently short.--SPhilbrick T 19:41, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
