3rd Michigan Infantry
Hello. I see you created the article 3rd Michigan Infantry, and stated that you own and operate the websites that the text there appears to be copied from. Going to that website we see, "copyright©1998-2007 by Steve Soper all rights reserved". Please look at Copyrights and Text of the GNU Free Documentation License. In short, by submitting it here you are agreeing to license it under the GFDL; meaning that you relinquish many of your rights. Other people can then take it and use it however they see fit. If you wish to have this material on Wikipedia under the GFDL then please explain this on the article's discussion page, then either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mary Rippey Heistand
A tag has been placed on Mary Rippey Heistand 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 a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andy (talk) 22:55, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
