The article Leah Culver has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

- Hi Torontostudent24! Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the article you created, Leah Culver had been tagged incorrectly as unsourced, so I removed that tag after double-checking with the tagger. Also, I noticed you had added a category Category:Women in technology to some articles, but there was no such category, so I created it for you. Let me know if you have any questions, and happy editing! 28bytes (talk) 05:33, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
