Welcome, and thank you! (Newton bateman)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for contributing the article on Newton bateman; however, please note that, unfortunately, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material without the permission of the author(s). As you acknowledged in the article itself, it appears to be mostly copied word-for-word from the page http://www.bateman.cps.k12.il.us/newtonbateman.htm. As the terms of use for the Chicago Public Schools site do not appear to permit relicensing of the content under the GNU Free Documentation License used on Wikipedia, we unfortunately cannot use their content verbatim. Thus, I've had to delete the article per speedy deletion criterion G12.

It would be great if, instead of copying the text verbatim, you'd be willing to write an article on Newton Bateman yourself in your own words, using the Chicago Public Schools website as a reference. If you'd like some help with this, or with anything else related to Wikipedia, feel free to ask me on my talk page or use the Help Desk or the new contributors' help page. Thank you, and I hope that, despite these starting difficulties, you'll find yourself enjoying editing Wikipedia. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 17:42, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
