Hello, Iceveela, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Knitting and crochet during the civil war

A tag has been placed on Knitting and crochet during the civil war 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 clear 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. 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 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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 06:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Knitting and crochet during the civil war

The article Knitting and crochet during the civil war has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

An unsourced apparent essay.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

History of knitting

Hi Iceveela. To highlight my comments, that article isn't suitable, but... related areas you could work on are 1860s in fashion, History of knitting, and the yet-to-be-created Women in the American Civil War (a counterpart of Women in the American Revolution). There are sources covering this topic that you could use:[1][2]. To answer your general point, please read Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability to understand why editors insist on sources being used. p.s. Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes after your comments, i.e. ~~~~. Fences&Windows 04:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
