Speedy deletion nomination of For-Mar Nature Preserve


A tag has been placed on For-Mar Nature Preserve requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.michigantrailmaps.com/member-profile/3/159/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A page you started (Halenia deflexa) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Halenia deflexa, Bstacey0811!

Wikipedia editor Blythwood just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Looks good. I've just done general cleanup: added a taxonbar, made the title and species name italic, linked to the Wikimedia Commons category and pages in other languages and then added a picture. On the talk page, I've added a tag for the plants working group. Hope that's all OK."
