Speedy deletion nomination of Harriet E. Richards Cooperative House


A tag has been placed on Harriet E. Richards Cooperative House 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 Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see 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". 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 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.

Copyright concerns
You said: The information is all from the co-ops website and is free of copyright. I have permission but I am going to change the article anyway and add citations.

What is your basis for saying the material is free of copyright? Copyright is assumed, unless the material is specifically identified as pd (public domain) (with some exceptions that don't apply here). If the material were licensed properly (with a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License) it could be used, but that wouldn't make it free of copyright.

I won't delete immediately (but cannot promise someone else won't), however, this need to be addressed quickly.-- SPhilbrick  (Talk)  15:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I now see you haven't edited in about a month, I thought that you might be currently working on this. In light of the timing, I am going to delete it, however, if you can respond to the copyright issues, it is easy to restore, and I will be happy to do so. I may see it if you post here; to be safe, drop at note at my talk page-- SPhilbrick  (Talk)  15:18, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
