Welcome!

Hello, Claireva, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Richard Rapson, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Rapson

A tag has been placed on Richard Rapson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.

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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia: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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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.

You must indicate where you found the information. That source must meet the Wikipedia:Reliable sources guideline. You must not copy the source, you must paraphrase it, unless you can demonstrate that you own the copyright or that you have the right kind of permission from the copyright holder.

I re-wrote the article using the text that was already there. It's not a direct copyvio anymore but it still needs references. I'm not arguing for or against Rapson's notability. Dismas|^(talk) 04:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
