Dr. Gary Polonsky
Hi, somebody wanted to speedy delete this page. I re-tagged it and brought it to the page called Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where the article will instead be discussed for a week. It is not really good to post oneliners like this, and it will increase your chances of getting the article kept if you expand Polonsky's biography substantially with stuff like his education, previous positions and publications. Try to do this as soon as possible. Just think about not taking any text directly from the university website or any other published bio. Rewrite it in your own words. u p p l a n d 14:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Good that you are expanding the article. However, I notice that you have done exactly what I recommended you yestereday not to do, taken text directly from the official biography on the university website. That will probably lead to the article being deleted as a copyright violation. You can either rewrite it or get a permission from the administration of the university to use the text and release it according to the GFDL (in which case you will have to paste an e-mail with contact information for whomever gave the permission on the talkpage of the article - it is probably far more trouble than rewriting). u p p l a n d 13:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
