Speedy deletion of James Wilt
A tag has been placed on James Wilt 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 blatant 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.
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 GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I recently submitted a short bio of myself to Wikipedia, which was promptly deleted due to "blatant copywrite infringement". Well, I wrote the bio on any other site that you may have found it. What prompted the entire mess was that when I was searching through "Colburn School" and clicked on my name, there was nothing on Wikipedia, so I thought I would update it. I took the same bio used for Colburn and the LA Phil, which I myself wrote, updated it, and posted it. I am the original author. Any assistance would be appreciated in resolving this problem.-- MrClean62 ( talk) 07:19, 12 May 2008
- Hello. Your paragraph above shows the problem as it has several WP policy violations. Wikipedia has some very important rules that must be followed in order to have successful articles.
- Please read:
- These are some of the important ones that apply here. Don't despair. It is hard to understand all these rules at the beginning but they are there for a purpose. -- Alexf 42 09:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
