Copyright problems
Hello. Concerning your contribution, LUMBER LIQUIDATORS, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material without the permission of the author. As a copyright violation, LUMBER LIQUIDATORS appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. LUMBER LIQUIDATORS has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:LUMBER LIQUIDATORS and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:LUMBER LIQUIDATORS with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:LUMBER LIQUIDATORS.

However, for text content, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia.

I would add though that even if you have permission to post this, the text as it stands is unsuitable for Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles have to be written from a neutral point of view, and this reads more like an advert for the company. Please feel free to rewrite it in a more neutral manner, but you should keep in mind that content should be verifiable with regard to reliable sources, and you should check that the company meets the guidelines for inclusion of companies and organisations.

A tag has been placed on LUMBER LIQUIDATORS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Improbcat 17:17, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
