Speedy deletion nomination of Reclaimed Wood Council

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 Reclaimed Wood Council 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

However, even without the copyright violation issue, the subject of the article might not be notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Subjects must have significant coverage in reliable sources, so that we can use those sources to write verifiably accurate articles. You can find more specific guidance on notability for these kinds of articles here. Thanks. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:00, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Goodwin Heart Pine

On 20 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Goodwin Heart Pine, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that for lumber production the company Goodwin Heart Pine retrieves submerged logs that were felled as long ago as the 1800s? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Goodwin Heart Pine. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
