Bradford W. Wright
Hi! You posted copied text from this web page onto Bradford W. Wright. I've removed it, because it looked like it could very well be a copyright violation. --Lijnema 12:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

what to do
Furthermore, lacking content, the page was marked for speedy deletion.

But He  seems a worthy subject for an article, so if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes: and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. Book reviews are fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog. These is, very  unfortunately, some prejudice against people from the academic world.
 * saying in the first sentence something to dramatically demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is an internationally-known professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates", or A.B. is a notable authority on Whatever. She is ... (etc) (whatever applies best). Use the exact wording I recommend, including either the word "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what many people look for here.
 * listing college degrees and positions with university and year -- and putting the university names in  double brackets
 * listing important awards
 * listing important memberships and offices held
 * listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible. You can insert a paragraph about the book,but write it yourself from scratch, and then give a quote from the review, and link to the full one as a reference. Try to find at least one more review.
 * listing some major published papers, say how many total. . State the importance the journals are. Say how many other papers cited them.

There is understandable feeling here against articles that might have been written by the subject or a member of his family, so it has to be a really solid article. See WP:AUTO and WP:COI

If you do not do this right away, the article will probably be deleted in a day or two--though not by me. If this happens, just recreate it, but take you time--maybe in a week after careful preparation I apologize for not having the time to help  personally. DGG 00:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry
Your work on the article about The American Way (Comic Book) was a good attempt, but a) there was too much that was copied from the Washington Post, and b) an article already existed on The American Way. I integrated your information into the latter article and converted yours into a redirect. DS 15:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
