Worth Ranch
A tag has been placed on Worth Ranch, 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 that 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 Worth Ranch 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. ArglebargleIV (talk) 18:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC) I worte my memories of Worth Ranch, the boy scout camp where I volunteer to operate the museum. I paid for the printing and all the money for the book is going to the museum. If that is blatant advertising, so be it. The history of the camp is now in the hands of many people that have been to the camp or will go. At 72 I was about the only one that new the history. Sorry if I don't under stand the in and outs of Wikipedia. I will keep trying to lay out history as fast as I can for the short time I have.

Liberator Village
Hi Maurice. I'm far from a specialist in Fort Worth area, but I expanded the article based on the sources available to me. Your book is not available to me, and it is not available in my local libraries, not surprisingly because I'm in Australia. Unless you care to expand the article yourself, and refute the sources I cited to support my edits, you can try to interest another editor who has your book to expand it. I am mostly interested in the effect of war on the societies, hence the interest in the article.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 22:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The book was printed and given to the White Settlemnt Historic Museum. They are selling the book and all funds go to the museum. The people that lived in the village are enjoyinging the book. It shows the pressure of the war on housing, schools and life style. I do not underdtand everything about Wikipedia and never will. I just try to write down the history I know before it fads away. At 72 memories are about all youve got.
 * Wikipedia is an excellent, but occasion frustrating tool to educate the general population. Essentially anyone can edit the articles as long as they are able to back up their editing with good, relevant sources. Your book seems to be one such source on this particular subject. I tried to expand the article because I think it is important to understand how the war impacted on people's lives. I would encourage you to add to this articles somewhat more if you can.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 06:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
