Hi. I am really not sure what I am doing wrong. I wrote this article since I couldn't find one on single use foodservice packaging, tried to cite all the facts with links to more information, etc. I tried editing several times to make it less "essay like." I am stumped.

If it has to be deleted, so be it. No big deal. But I really hoped to contribute to Wikipedia, so any tips on what it is I did wrong would be much appreciated. Thanks!

PS- I tried editing it several times and adding more sources. This doesn't seem to help.

PPS- I am also confused by the "spam" deletion. I am not advertising any products or companies. It's an article on paper plates, plastic cups and other single use food packaging. I hope this spam tag is in error. If not, please let me know what makes the article "spammish" so I know what not to do in the future with future articles. Thanks again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrundle (talk • contribs) 14:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like large portions of the article are taken from this document (MS Word format). Radiant chains (talk) 14:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is true. But that document isn't copyrighted and is free to use and redistribute (it's in a press kit). It just happened to have a lot of information i was looking for (and I cited it). If the issue is I relied on it too heavily and that I need to have more sources, I'll keep looking. Thanks for the info.
