Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

Yes, but it would have to be in your own words. It's OK to use the site as a source of information, but not of words. Since you're affiliated with the organization, please take a moment to review WP:COI. No problem writing about a notable personal project as long as the conflict-of-interest policies are followed. Thanks for asking and thanks for being gracious. I get really slammed all too often when I delete new content. Feel free to ask any questions you may have over on my talk page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:41, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of West Georgia Technical College

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on West Georgia Technical College, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of West Georgia Technical College and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:49, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project.
