Hello Admins;

I wrote the article. I am the copyright holder. I also responded IMMEDIATELY (e.g. within 24 hours) to the "notes" regards deletion from both RoySmith and FabricTramp.

Please "undelete" the page so that I may EDIT it as I had said I was doing to begin with (e.g. I had already prefaced my submission). It is relatively straightforward to establish "NOTABILITY" according to your guidelines, NEUTRALITY and FREE USE.

I've already submitted as of Monday, October 12th, 2030 hours East Coast USA time to the "permissions@wikipedia" for permitting via free GNU and other licenses the use of the "text" on the J/Boats site. Please note that I've already done the same for "images" on WikiMedia.

Regards "Notability", please see "AMAZON.COM" for "notability"-- the book is titled "J/BOATS: SAILING TO SUCCESS" written by Anthony Dalton in November 2005. Here are some reviews for your edification:


 * Latitudes & Attitudes March/April 2006 (circ.: 55,000)
 * “It’s an interesting read, illustrated with beautiful photography of J/Boats doing what they do so well, racing and cruising.”


 * Good Old Boat Newsletter, February 2006 (circ. unavailable)
 * “Anthony Dalton has captured the enterprising spirit behind the success of J/Boats. This book will appeal to everyone with an interest in fine sailboats and the companies behind them.”


 * Great Lakes Boating, February 2006 (circ.: 32,350)
 * “If you are a devoted fan of the J/Boat, in all its many designs and personalities, then this tribute to Johnstones’ and their passion for sailing just might be the perfect addition to your bookshelf.”


 * Product Description
 * In 1975 Rod Johnstone finally decided to build the boat he’d been planning since completing design correspondence school 10 years earlier. Thirty years later, the J/24, the boat based on that first garage-built vessel is the most popular recreational offshore keelboat in the world. The story of J/Boats’ success, as inspiring as it is unlikely, unfolds for the first time in this illustrated history, which tells how Rod and his brother Bob turned one homebuilt boat and a $20,000 investment into the company that dominates the performance-oriented sailboat market today.


 * J/Boats: Sailing to Success follows the company from its first days to the ascension of a second generation of Johnstones. With detailed history, anecdotes, and a wealth of photographs, the book brings to life the colorful personalities, the design revolutions, and, of course, all the fabulous racer/cruiser models that have carried J/Boats to triumph.

Finally, J-Boats main page was more than 70% complete and I was intending to add "categories", "references", "external links" and so forth to complete the process. Please see the other notes on "StuJ24" with regards this process. I have the "style" guidelines and had all the notes to get each page updated--- not the least of which was to paraphrase the main "J-Boats" page in my own words and complete it will all appropriate bits and pieces according to WP guides...not the least of which was to "eliminate" any smack of commercialism.

BTW- what or "how" do you define commercialism??

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
