Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Passportguy (talk) 10:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alese & Morton Pechter
A tag has been placed on Alese & Morton Pechter 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 blatant 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 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, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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.

 * Hi, if Alese Pechter has published that info under a licence that allows her work to be copied here then that should resolve copyright concerns re the use of her writing. But it could still be wp:plagiarism for someone else to simply copy and paste her words here without appropriate attribution.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  10:42, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

copied from Talk: Alese & Morton Pechter
The article referred to by your Speedy Deletion is one written by Alese Pechter and then sent to the auas.org website for them to reproduce. They have no copyright ownership. Aopmhp (talk) 10:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * First of all, I doubt that The New York Times has given permission for reprinting their obituary. But, even apart from ownership issues, it would be much better to have an original article for Wikipedia than to copy and paste material that has been published elsewhere.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
