Hello,

I am responding to your 2 concerns about the content of my post about Albert Staehle. 1. That it may be a copy write violation 2. That the content may not be about Albert Staehle

For the concern in #1 above: I am the sole author and technical designer of the web site from which this information was obtained. The page, http://www.albertstaehle.info/Congressional%20Honor.htm, where this information comes from was completely created and designed by me and no one else. As you can tell, my email address for the web site's contact (found in the middle of the main page of www.albertstaehle.info), and the email address for this Wikipedia post are exactly the same. So I am the same person creating and maintaining both.

For your concern in #2 above: This article and my entire web site from which it comes, www.AlbertStaehle.info, is about Albert Staehle and Albert Staehle only. As you can tell, the name of the site is the combination of Albert and Staehle. And so this article that I posted into Wikipeddia, is all about Albert Staehle and nothing else. It gives a little backround of Albert Staehle's life and the accomplishments. Smokey Bear was just one of them.

Thank you for your concern and consideration. Please let me know of any other questions or concerns.

Speedy deletion nomination of Albert Staehle


A tag has been placed on Albert Staehle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.albertstaehle.info/Congressional%20Honor.htm. 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 or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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.

Copyvio
I wasn't entirely sure about the copyvio status of the article, however there wasn't really anything in the article that would have made for a Wikipedia article. The problem is that an article would need to be about Albert Staehle and not just a reprint of a congressional record. Please do not revert back to this copy as it is not considered to be an appropriate article for Wikipedia.

What you need is an article that goes into depth about Staehle, like Jim Davis (cartoonist) or Norman Rockwell. The article doesn't have to be as long or go into as much depth, but that's the general style that an article should resemble. I do also have to warn you - if Staehle is only known for Smoky the Bear then he might not warrant an individual article unless you can show where there has been coverage of him independent of Smoky, as notability is not always inherited by a single notable work.

Deletion discussion about Albert Staehle
Hello, Selene1s,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Albert Staehle should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Albert Staehle.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Xx236 (talk) 05:58, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
