Additional note
[edit]Hi Natcha.s,
Copyright is something Wikipedia takes very seriously. It looks like you copy/pasted the entirety of the material at Maritz, Inc. v. Cybergold, Inc. directly from this Wikia page. I'll also note that Wikia is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia as it's user-generated content. I see that you are part of a course on Wikipedia, so your professor should be able to tell you more about the reason for deletion here. In the hope that you will recreate this page with usable content, I salvaged the infobox you created below. If you have any questions about this or about Wikipedia in general, feel free to leave a message for me here or at my talk page. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:30, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Well, I learned something. Wikia is Creative Commons licensed. Wikia is not typically considered a reliable source and our articles shouldn't, in general, exist only as copy/pastes of other work, but although the article was technically a copyright and plagiarism violation as it copy/pasted but didn't provide attribution, it was not the sort of issue that requires deletion. In fact, it was pretty easily remedied by adding an attribution template. Done. Sorry if the deletion template caused any unnecessary stress for you. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:05, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Natcha.s/cyberlaw/. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Maritz, Inc. v. Cybergold, Inc.. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Maritz, Inc. v. Cybergold, Inc. – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:27, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
