What do I need to do to keep a page I created from being deleted? It is about a Marine combat correspondent who is well known amont military reporters and made a lot of history in the first few years of the current military operations. He and his work is notable I am not nor do I work for Mr. Chenelly. Thank you, SGT Kendall KendallCC (talk) 18:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of U.S. Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Association
A tag has been placed on U.S. Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Joseph R. Chenelly
Hi there. I saw your post on the discussion page for this article. I think it is a good a story and I don't mind helping you keep it up there. I am the one who initially reformatted it. This is simply so that it begins to have a "wikified" look to it.. this means I changed no content. I believe it is a notable story.. that's not the issue. Let's focus on making the article "neutral". This means it can't sound like a resume or written by a relative trying to promote it. In other words, watch adjectives that can't be substantiated. For example, don't say things like "was an amazing marine" but rather something like a "recognized marine" -- then follow up the "recognized" with in-text citations. With your permission, I will modify a couple of paragraphs to show you want I mean. Glad you've joined Wikipedia and decided to share this story... chiefhuggybear (talk) 20:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Got your message. Cool. After looking at your article's history, looks like good things are on the horizon. After it was tagged for deletion, another fellow jumped and said it does NOT meet criteria for deletion and it should be noted. The next good thing that happened is that the Wiki Military History project recognized the page. You can see that by the note on the discussion page. Don't worry about the question marks and un-ratings right now. It is just something that they use to track the progress of significant articles. Finally, looks like you've done alot of editing already and provided cross-referencing -- that is good! I like to focus on content and in-text citations first-- after all, content is what matters first and let's people know these are facts and it can be backed up. Then when you get towards the end, minor formatting, pictures, copy editing (proof reading), and general polish is generally the last step. We'll get this Devil Dog's story told... I am a little busy tonight but I will probably jump in do some editing tomorrow after work.  chiefhuggybear (talk) 22:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay.. I did some minor modifications, added an "underconstruction" tag, and made a note on the discussion page. You should also put the article in your watchlist so you can watch when someone modifies it. Also, take a look at how I used the footnotes/reference tags.. (see Help:Footnotes). I configured 1 & 2 for you.. using these tags instead of superscript tags will save you A LOT of headaches when you start moving the document around. I also added appropriate category tags so he shows up in the master list of U.S. Marines... Okay.. I will try to help more tomorrow.. happy editing! chiefhuggybear (talk) 23:07, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a ton! I have the reference tags and links in -- correctly, I think. I will work on editing the text better. what else?
