Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --Mcha6677 (talk) 17:37, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

To whom it may concern,

I am entirely flabbergasted. Someone deleted my entire sandbox after I submitted in very good faith a very well annotated new revision for the Dooring/Avoidance page. The deletor provided no evidence that I took any copyright material from any source. As I am the originator of the Dutch Reach coinage and the now international Dutch Reach campaign, and maintain a comprehensive website on this subject it appears that removal of my contribution on this subject is a faulty judgment or faulty algorithm at work.

Please will an editor such as Jim Henderson be consulted on my submission before such draconian action is taken. And please restore both my recent 10 22 17 contribution, and my original treatise on the subject dating back (unperturbed) since Oct 2016.

Lastly I thought my sandbox is where I can make mistakes, make drafts etc without such wanton interference.

Please clarify. Please restore!

 * Alas, I am still busy with WP matters close to home, and cannot get deeply into this, but our copyright police are very strict. They have good reason for strictness, but they also don't have much time for precision. One usual time saving method is, if a Web search for a sentence or a few of them turns up positive and the found page does not have a prominent copyright release of copyright or WP:Free license on it, it is a copyright violation and must be destroyed forthwith. Whether that's what happened here, I don't know. Being the author of the copied material is seldom what matters; what matters is the prominent, obvious release.
