A tag has been placed on [[:User:Ctwomen/Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information. |

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the '''[[User talk:Ctwomen/Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Joe Chill|Joe Chill]] ([[User talk:Joe Chill|talk]]) 14:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC) |

I reverted the speedy deletion on [[User:Ctwomen/Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame]], as I view that as a legitimate use of user space. However, your user page is supposed to be about you and your interaction with Wikipedia, not a place to promote some cause, however notable. I urge you to remove the material about the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame from your user page (looks like I am too late). |
|||
I also have an interest in the subject, although knew nothing about it until now. I'll be out of the country until the end of the month, but when I return, would be happy to help you with the draft article. Let me know [[User_talk:Sphilbrick|my talk page]]--<font style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:15px;">[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="background:#002868;color:#fff;padding:0 4px">SPhilbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style="background:#ADD8E6;padding:0 4px;color:#fff;">T</span>]]</font> 15:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC) |

:I see that the draft contained material subject to copyright. While I support the use of user drafts, even for material that might violate some of the article guidelines, that doesn't extend to Copyright issues, so I support the deletion. Again, I am willing to help, though not till September.--<font style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:15px;">[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="background:#002868;color:#fff;padding:0 4px">SPhilbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style="background:#ADD8E6;padding:0 4px;color:#fff;">T</span>]]</font> 15:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC) |

==Copyright violation in [[:User:Ctwomen]] and [[User:Ctwomen/Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame]]== |

Hello, and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome to Wikipedia]]. We appreciate your contributions to the pages [[:User:Ctwomen]] and [[User:Ctwomen/Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame]], but for legal reasons, we cannot accept [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyrighted]] text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your additions were deleted under section [[WP:CSD#G12|G12]] of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]]. |
|||
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''. |
|||
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 include ''on the external site'' the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License], Version 1.2 and later, and the [[Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License]]." You may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]] for more. |
|||
While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright policy]]. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators '''will''' be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing. |
|||
You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. You can also leave a message on my talk page.<!-- Template:Nothanks-warn-deletion -->--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 15:19, 15 August 2011 (UTC) |
