Hello, Shockleyj, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Spiritile, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

A tag has been placed on Spiritile, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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 the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

A tag has been placed on SEEBURGER 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.

You wrote "This information is taken from SEEBURGER's own homepage. No quotes are added, because non-neutral words were left out. The page is credited. The webpage, that the copyright infringement singles out, takes it information from SEEBURGER's homepage as well." That, unfortunately, does not excuse or allow the use of copyrighted text. Such text can only be used if there is anotice on the source page, releasing it under a free license for anyone to use, or if it is released via the copyright donation procedure. It is generally better to rewrite the content in original words than to go through either procedure, even if you are the copyright owner. I am therefore about the delete the infringign page. It can be recreated in a non-infringing form. DES(talk) 05:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Shockleyj. You have new messages at DESiegel's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SEEBURGER until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Lankiveil(speak to me) 06:57, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
