Speedy deletion nomination of Lusty Lady Strike

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Lusty Lady Strike, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Clearly, this is not a hoax. Many sources exist to confirm the existence of this event. Unfortunately, you have chosen to copy those sources verbatim rather than to write the article in your own words based on the existing sources, and this is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy.

Coursework?

I note that you have created an article on a strike, one of several similar articles that have been created today. Are you working on this as part of a class assignment? If so, can you please have your instructor me or have a look at Wikipedia:Education program. There are guidelines for the use of Wikipedia in school and university projects that might be helpful to your instructor. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:46, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removed content to Lusty Lady

Hi,

It looks like you added a significant amount of content to Lusty Lady. Thanks for trying to improve Wikipedia. Unfortunately, there are two problems, one of them more serious than the other. The lesser problem is that content on Wikipedia generally shouldn't appear in multiple places. That means that Lusty Lady should succinctly summarize and link to Lusty Lady Strike, not duplicate it. More importantly, I saw some serious copyright violations in the text you added. New editors are expected to make mistakes, so don't worry to much, but do please be sure you're familiar with the rules at Wikipedia:Copyright violations and Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. It looks like you might be doing this as part of a class assignment. If so, could you let us know who you're instructor is? There are a whole lot of good teaching and learning materials available I'd like to connect him/her with. Thanks. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:30, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
