Copied from Talk:Malt Liquor Thursday
Hello,

Regarding the history of malt liquor thursday found at http://www.duke.edu/web/waynemanor/historymlt.htm that is cited as a reason for deletion of my submission... This is a story that was written initially as an email by a former house mate of mine (Rob Widell, Jr.) at Duke University. It essentially was an email forward that has been circulated around our selective house, Wayne Manor, for over a decade now. It was put on our house's web page several years ago so that it would not fall out of people's memories. I have added it to Wikipedia, at the request of several former housemates, for similar reasons. This material has never been copyrighted. What steps can I take to prove this story so that the history is not deleted? I appreciate your comments and apologize for the confusion. --Alext9999 22:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC) Alex Thomas
