User talk:Trgiii

Hello, Trgiii, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions to Mississippi Delta. I've had to remove some of the text per our copyright policy. I understand you went to some effort to add the wiki-links to the text, and those links are very useful, thank you very much. It's unfortunate that I had to remove the links along with the text, but it should be possible to rewrite the text and keep the wikilinks; I've added a note on the Talk: page alerting editors to the version in the article history that contains the valuable wikilinks. I was able to keep some of your text and list contributions, see the talk page for more explanation. In particular, the text from the US Governtment website is in the public domain, and so should be able to be copied freely.

Also, I'd like to apologize for reverting your changes without a more timely explanation. I had guests over this weekend, and I wasn't able to give your contributions the time needed to separate the copyvios from the non-copyvio. Again, I know you went to some effort to add the text and links, and your contributions are appreciated greatly. As long as future contributions follow the copyright policy, we would be happy to accept any other edits you might wish to make. --Interiot 14:04, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Main Street America

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 Main Street America 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 msmainstreet.com/about_us/approach and mainstreet.org/aboutus. 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.
