Speedy deletion nomination of Neighborhoodism
A tag has been placed on Neighborhoodism 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 clear 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 14:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

August 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Kudpung (talk) 17:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Kudpung (talk) 21:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation
Your article submission has been declined, and Wikipedia& was not created. Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer, and please feel free to resubmit once the issues have been addressed. (You can do this by adding the text to the top of the article.) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 18:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Why your article probably will not be accepted
We are not publishers of original thought, we are not a collection of opinion pieces, and we are not a blog. Regardless of whatever position an editor holds outside of the encyclopedia, we don't give them special treatment, whether they're a college professor, or a middle schooler. Your ideas to not meet general notability guidelines, and there's no evidence that you do (and if you did, there would be a conflict of interest, and we still wouldn't act as publishers of original thought). We don't do articles about stuff just because it exists, there has to be a coverage in outside, non-trivial, sources.

Your owning the complete Journal of the Continental Congess and all of Jefferson's business letters doesn't mean anything, except that you have primary sources (we prefer to use secondary sources to prevent personal interpretations from being presented as fact). Your having previously published other works does not matter. Your having copyrights and trademarks does not mean anything. They do not have anything to do with the issue that SoCalSuperEagle brought up: "This request reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should be based on fact rather than opinions or original research. Thank you." Ian.thomson (talk) 19:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
