Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

961 Beer

[edit]

I have deleted your contribution for two reasons:

  • It was copied from http://961beer.com. Wikipedia cannot accept text copied from elsewhere unless a formal copyright release has been made. Below every edit screen it says: "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." Assertion of permission is not enough. Please read Wikipedia:Copy-paste, and the more detail Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors' rights and obligations.
  • It is very seldom worth making a copyright release because, as in this case, material written for other purposes usually has a promotional tone quite unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, often written in the first person ("Our ingredients are of the highest quality...") and using marketing-speak and "peacock terms": "Our devotion is unconditional. Our team is intelligent, motivated, dedicated... "

Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. Articles require a neutral point of view and any claims must be verifiable from reliable sources. Article subjects need Wikipedia:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
