Sorry... this is my first effort to submit a Wikipedia entry. Mike's books have been reviewed on infed.org and thus appears some of the text that seems to have triggered Wikipedia's speedy deletion bot. I've removed the quoted text.

I spoke to Mike Newman about the entry that links to infed.org and this is what he had to say:

"Dear Glen Very odd. Why do they not like the link to infed.org. Infed.org is the site of a free encyclopedia of informal education. Infed.org asked me for the keynote address and I sent it to them, obviously with my permission to include it in their encyclopedia. I own the copyright of the address and if I do not and the Commission of Professors of Adult Education who asked me to give the keynote address at their conference do, they gave their permission to infed.org too! How can one infringe a copyright by giving a link to a free encyclopedia."

Moora Moora Coop

Hey there! I've just made it third-person, like articles are meant to be, and also removed the link, that should go in an external links section at the bottom. To do this, put ==External links==, and then the link below. Downy 10:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Downy for helping a Wikipedia newbie. Glenmo 22:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)glenmo[reply]

Moora Moora Coop

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Moora Moora Coop, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

What you need to do is get the coop written about by a publisher independant of the coop. eg a newspaper or magazine (maybe an eco-lifestyle magazine or something)? Then you can attribute your article to existing published material, rather than presenting original research here.Ga rr ie 21:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you added discussion from your talk page to the article in question... I'm guessing it's a mistake due to being unfamiliar with conventions around here. Try looking at WP:MOS, it gives some indications on what an article should look/feel like. There is a clear difference between what should be in an article (information about a topic) and what should be in a talk page (discussion about the article, about the topic). I have removed the mis-placed transcluded talk post from the article. Let me know at User talk:GarrieIrons if you still don't get what I am referring to. 05:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Having said that...

"external links" on the Moora Moora Coop article would be

George Negus on Communal Living

The other two

would be "references". Learning the differences, and applying them, will help you make the article more readily be identified as being about a notable location, group, or entity which has been written about third parties independant of the location, group or entity - per WP:ATT. Sorry, but personal/work commitments prevent me from barging on in with a copyedit to get this article into the correct shape but I can help by pointing you at references / resources / pointers for improving the content.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Glenmo! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 298 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Newman (writer)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Michael Newman (writer) 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Michael Newman (writer)

The article Michael Newman (writer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to meet the WP:GNG or WP:BIO, and unable to turn up any reliable source coverage.

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.
