Speedy deletion nomination of Morisset Meals on Wheels
A tag has been placed on Morisset Meals on Wheels, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. t'shaél chat 04:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: comment on Morisset Meals on Wheels
You wrote on the talk page:


 * It gives a history of Morisset Meals on Wheels and how it has evolved. It is a non profit charity organization. If this history should be deleted so should a lot of other entries in Wikipedia that mention the history or places with links to them.

Neither of these were actually the issue here. The problem with the article was that it was copied directly from another web page, and the content would have to be rewritten completely to make it look like a proper encyclopaedia article.

It might be better if you'd rewrite the article from ground up - using your own words. Take a look at articles on similar subjects and see what they have in them and how to make the article fit with the rest of the articles. You can use user subpages to prepare the article before it's ready for public editing. Hope these hints help! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 14:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I have sent the e-mail for copyright approval and placed full consent on the web page. I also sent a second e-mail from the Domain web address, giving permission as well.

 * That possibly assuages the copyright concerns, yes. However, unless it is rewritten in an encyclopedic fashion, I do not believe that it will last long. t'shaél chat 21:10, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Need help to write article on the History of Morisset Meals on Wheels.
I need help to write an article about the history of Morisset Meals on Wheels. I was silly enough to dump one of my web pages into Wikipedia, thinking that this would be enough. I gave permission to Wikipedia to use the material in any way they wished to but it was deleted.

I don't have the skills to write an article in encyclopedia format and I would like somebody to help me write the article. I am not even sure how to begin, so I put up my hand and ask for help please. Here is some information on Meals on Wheels that may be of use?

Meals on Wheels N.S.W. Australia

Funding

The Australian Government services aim to meet the needs of frail older people and younger people with a disability with a range of services. The HACC Program is one service that assists these people and their carers with basic tasks of daily living. This enables them to live longer in their own homes. 50% of services needed are domestic as well as food and transport. There are a number of Home and Community Care providers that are subsidized by the Australian and NSW Governments Need For Services There are more than 20,000 people throughout New South Wales are helped by about 240 local Meals on Wheels/Food Service organisations. About 35,000 volunteers regularly give their time and skills to keep this essential community service alive. Social Needs But it’s not just about a nutritious and tasty meal delivered by volunteers. Volunteers also make a little time for a social chat, and can help identify other Services available to meet clients’ individual needs, across differences in culture, dietary need, religion, medical condition, language, physical ability and personal taste; a very human heartbeat of a local community. Patron Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC is our patron We endeavor to lift our profile, to continue to attract loyal reliable volunteers to keep it running, especially in these economic times. Organization Most Meals on Wheels and Food Service organisations in NSW are run by local Management Committees, made up of volunteers from the community. The Committees receive and control funding to employ one or more people to manage and coordinate the daily operations of the service, and can be responsive to specific local needs and the service is not means tested. Meals on Wheels has a board of Governers , Partner We are fortunate to have Neslè Food services as our partner Morisset Meals on Wheels Morisset and District Meals on Wheels was set up in 1963 to provide hot meals for the frail, aged and disabled residents of our district and their carers. People who could not go out shopping or who found it difficult in cooking their own meals. We operated from a council hall for many years and then a disused ward at Morisset Hospital. Morisset Hospital Kitchen kindly supplied the meals until their closure in 1994. Our Committee worked with the Department of Community Services to ensure a quality service. In 1992 the Home and Community Care programme (Known as HACC and a part of the Department of Community Services) granted funds to employ two part-time Coordinators as well as provide for some other expenses. Our manager/coordinators now arrange many of the day-to-day functions of our organisation; volunteer drivers and cooks; office duties and many other details which were originally done by our overworked Secretary. In October, 1995 the Morisset Uniting Church [map]offered us the use of part of their land to build our new hall and kitchen. Thanks to the Church, 25 years of fund-rasing and a large team of volunteers, our new building was ready to move into before Christmas 1995. We now cook our own delicious main meals and deserts all year. Our frozen meals are supplied by Newcastle Meals on Wheels. In September 2005 we amalgamated with Toronto Meals on Wheels to form the new entity, Morisset and Toronto Meals on Wheels Inc. This gave us a stronger standing for meals on wheels NSW and Australia.

I will work on the subscripting reference points for this information, could somebody give me some feedback if this material is what Wikipedia is after?
