Why is a buff not notable? His collection of memorabilia is enough to fill a space the size of the museum of dominos, or the museum of snooker champions of the UK. I wasn't available to contest the speedy deletion, lets deal with it nowRobco311 00:50, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Crazy but...

[edit]

There is another brand new editor who has also created an amazing article on black fire-fighters in Los Angeles and who is working on some more right now. He is User:CaptJayRuffins. You two would be 'unstoppable' in black fire-fighting article writing if you got together. He is wonderful to work with and knows a lot of 'stuff'.

You can't use photos you didn't take yourself

[edit]

You found some great photos but they can't be used in the article since someones took them and that person owns the copyright. I have to delete these photos that you don't have the copyright to or your article will never make it into Wikipedia mainspace. I am so sorry. Do you know this Cephas museum guy? Maybe he can upload some stuff.

He is sending me images by snailmail but another editor said that the photo of the plaque should be integral to the story. I went ahead and uploaded them, and will await whatever decision results.... Robco311 (talk) 01:17, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
