Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
 * Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

The article Moseley Iron Bridge and Roof Company has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello. I've userfied the material per your request at User:Saguinter/sandbox. This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website&mdash;these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). All material must be attributable.


 * If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly recreate the article, although if you are closely associated with the subject, you should review our conflict of interest guideline. If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be particularly careful to approach it neutrally and without undue promotion.


 * Good luck with expanding the article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The article was deleted for notability concerns, not for advertising. The bit about promotion above is simply part of a template response. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Ongoing notability concerns of Moseley Iron Bridge and Roof Company
I see that you have restored the article to userspace, but have not addressed the notability concerns. Since we have discussed the article, I have tagged it for evaluation by another administrator, to see if he concurs with me and with the previous administrator who speedied the article that it has not asserted notability per the guidelines on organizations. Please, if you are able, add reliable sources to demonstrate the notability of this company. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Eric Delony
A tag has been placed on Eric Delony 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 blatant 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 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 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 article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The entire (short) article is lifted from http://environment.transportation.org/center/tech_experts/bios/26677.aspx While it is quoted and footnoted, it is still a copyvio.

Eric Delony‎
I left a similar note on my talk page, but thought I'd expand here.

Thanks for your perseverance on the article. Getting new ones out there can be tough and there are plenty of folks (like me) willing to tell you what you are doing wrong. I've made a few edits and I think you have the potential for a really good article about a pretty interesting guy. I hope you like the state I've left it in.

I'll throw out a couple of unsolicited editing tips while I'm at all this:
 * When adding comments to a talk page, the most recent stuff usually goes at the bottom
 * Bibliographies serve as their own references, so you don't need to footnote them
 * When you're developing an article, it's a good idea to set up a user subpage of your own for the article and when it's in good shape, copy it in to the main space (create the article at that time). This way, it won't be speedily deleted as thousands are daily, or subject to scrutiny (like this) before you're ready.  I hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Happy editing. Toddst1 20:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
