Speedy deletion nomination of User:Kknigh27
[edit]
A tag has been placed on User:Kknigh27 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.
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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

User page
[edit]Sorry, but your user page does not conform to Wikipedia's user page guidelines. It is intended for basic information about yourself, your interests and goals as they relate to editing Wikipedia. Although a lot of freedom is allowed in personalizing your user page, it is not:
- an encyclopedia article (and should not be styled to look like one)
- a workspace for a draft article
- a personal website, blog, or social media site
- a space for self-promotion or other advertising
- a CV/resumé
- a lengthy autobiography
The user page guidelines have additional information on what is and what is not considered acceptable content. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of User:Kknigh27/citing sources
[edit]
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 User:Kknigh27/citing sources requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.montgomerybotanicalgardens.com/about/ and https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/life/2014/06/06/oak-park-forgotten-paradise-gets-chance-new-life/10104511/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 deleted 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. Dr Aaij (talk) 02:19, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
So the thing is, this is a big part of your grade, and you haven't worked on it since 15 March--that's almost a month ago. The Montgomery draft is problematic for reasons we discussed, and there is nothing else after the plagiarism problems. So if you want this to succeed, you really need to get to work... Also, I moved it; I was trying to help you out and find some sources, but it turns out you named it "A Firefighter for Freedom". Anyway, there is PLENTY of material, and I'll give some of it to you so you can get to writing: [1], [2], [3]. Do not expect Google Books to give you everything: find the books in the library or get through Interlibrary Loan. And try that Literature Criticism search the librarian talked about in that library tutorial session we did a few weeks ago. Besides that, there are five hits for the novel in JSTOR, two of which seem to have in-depth discussion, so I expect you to look for those as well. Good luck. Dr Aaij (talk) 22:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
