Over the River...
Hi ThroughTheWoods,

I ran across an article you created, Over The River...Life of Lydia Maria Child, Abolitionist for Freedom. I've had to remove a lot of text. One portion was taken directly from http://www.overtherivermovie.com, and is therefore a copyright violation. Another appears to be a verbatim reproduction of the introduction to the book, also copyrighted. And we don't really do testimonials in articles. Even if you had permission to reproduce some of that text under a GFDL license, the tone of the material was so promotional that I recommend against re-adding it.

I'm not one of those people that goes around looking for articles to delete because their subjects don't meet our inclusion guidelines, but you should know that your article might attract such people, and that in its current condition it might get listed at WP:Articles for Deletion sometime. You should read WP:MOVIE to see if it actually meets our inclusion guidelines for films or not. I suggest you see what you can do to improve it in the area of references independent of the production company; I looked aorund for some and couldn't find any, but you may have better luck since you evidently know the subject better. If there are not any non-trivial mentions in independent reliable sources (i.e. well known, unrelated to Permanent Productions), the article is probably at risk of eventually being deleted.

This isn't really my area of strength, and I'm not around too often, but if you have any questions you can ask on my talk page and I'll see what I can do. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ThroughTheWoods


A tag has been placed on User:ThroughTheWoods, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://overtherivermovie.com/biography-of-lydia-maria-child/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.

Proposed deletion of Blitz Attack: The Andrea Hines Story


The article Blitz Attack: The Andrea Hines Story has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non notable film with no known resources supporting it having its own page."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
