New to this! No problems with the merger. I have made a minor edit. The museum is now closed.The text reflects this.

Speedy deletion nomination of Capt. Eyre Massey Shaw

Hello RetiredLFB,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Capt. Eyre Massey Shaw for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Eyre Massey Shaw.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Leslie Leete, from its old location at User:RetiredLFB/Leslie William Thomas Leete. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. KGirl ^{(Wanna chat?)} 19:31, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again (we corresponded during development of additions to the Massey-Shaw article). I have started to make some edits to the Leslie Leete draft article, adding citations where I can find them, etc. Happy to collaborate further with you on this.
