Rain Barrels
You created Rain barrels, which contains copyrighted material from. Although it appears you are the original author of that work, you should make yourself aware of the rules of using copyrighted material WP:COPY. I haven't copyvio tagged this article because I believe it is worthwhile and easily fixable. Indeed, I have added some information that might interest you. I have removed the copyright material and added an expand tag. Finally, wiki is not the place for advertising, so I have removed the commercial links.

Removing tags
Please do not simply remove clean-up tags. Clean-up is an essential part of integrating new material into the encyclopedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Iota Gamma Upsilon
A tag has been placed on Iota Gamma Upsilon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

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.
