Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Mike Glaspie, may be copied from http://michaelglaspie.com/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 08:35, 19 November 2013 (UTC)


 * This article has been deleted again. The content was previously placed on Wikipedia by another editor; Wikipedia's content is not public domain and cannot be reused without proper attribution. However, this is just a small part of the problem with the content. The article was previously deleted as not meeting Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. One of the major issues with it is that the sources it uses are not acceptable here - articles on Wikipedia are meant to be compendiums of what reliable sources say about notable subjects. Sources that are connected to the subject itself - like this paid advertisement for instance cannot be used to make claims about a subject's success. Likewise, marketing material like this is unacceptable here. Instead, we rely on actual news stories or magazine profiles or reliable industry websites with a reputation for fact checking.


 * If you intend to write a new article on this individual, please review WP:YFA and the links it recommends, including especially how to identify a usable source. Please also review conflict of interest guidelines to ensure that you are working within them. If another article is created on Glaspie that does not conform, it is possible that the title will be locked against article creation, which would be unfortunate if Glaspie actually does meet the notability guidelines for individuals. Even if that doesn't happen, Wikipedians will tag articles that contain excessive promotion in such a way to make it obvious to our readers that they suspect promotional intent...and those tags are not easily removed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:38, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
