User talk:Rwricker

The article The Morning ride has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

History of the Spa
Can I suggest that you userfy this page until its ready to go? It looks like it has great potential, but it's not up to wiki standards right now. If you move it to your userspace then you can work on it until its ready to go! happy Editing! Frmatt (talk) 23:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

History of the Hot Tub, History of spa filters, History of water filters
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the article History of the Hot Tub, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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 may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See Donating copyrighted materials for more.

I am the author of all three articles on the site - So do you need the statement at the bottom of the article at the site?
 * Yes. You can only copy material to Wikipedia if the material is already released under GFDL, or equivalent.  Of course, you could re-write the material so that it's not identical to that on the commercial site instead. Tevildo (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.

Note that the above warning applies to all three articles. Tevildo (talk) 21:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Consent statement
Hi Rwricker, thanks for the note. No problem, as soon as the GFDL statement goes up on the website releasing the articles under a free license, I can undelete them. That would probably be easier than resubmitting since they had undergone some wiki formatting and all, but you're of course free to do it that way too. When you're ready with the permission note just let me know on my talk page. Peace, delldot   &nabla;.  14:00, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I see that the matter is already being dealt with. There's just one point I would make - the articles were interesting and well-referenced, but they were in rather too informal and "chatty" a style for Wikipedia. They can be re-written by other editors once they're restored, of course - however, you might want to think about adding the material to Hot tub or water filter rather than creating brand new articles.

Consent Provided Response
Here you go... Okay, see if placed the statement/links at the bottom of this one correctly: http://www.spasnstuff.com/hot-tub-faq/hot-tub-history/anthology-of-the-hot-tub-a-brief-history-of-the-spa.html

Please note the following is the source for both History of Water Filters and History of Spa Filters, so we only have the declarative statement once...Is that OK?): http://www.spasnstuff.com/hot-tub-faq/history-of-water-filters/history-of-water-filters.html


 * Looks great, thanks for doing that! I'll undelete now, and we can work on getting it into the Wikipedia style as Tevildo suggested.  Let me know on my talk page if you need any help or advice or anything.  Peace,  delldot   &nabla;.  15:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wasabi Roll


A tag has been placed on Wasabi Roll requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Proposed deletion of Rick Ricker


The article Rick Ricker has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:59, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
