Speedy deletion of Middlesex Lodge[edit]

A tag has been placed on Middlesex Lodge 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 blatant 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The article was re-created by coi spa Middlesexlodge, complete with the WP:CSD#G12 tag the first version had. It was deleted as per WP:CSD#G11: blatant advertising. — Athaenara ✉ 03:25, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure that I see this as blatant advertising or even a biased report of middlesex lodge. I truly believe that this lodge is an important part of American history beginning with the fact that it was one of the first chartered lodges in America with it Charter signed by then Massachusetts Grand Master Paul Revere.Middlesexlodge (talk) 03:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)Adam Reed user middlesexlodge[reply]

I responded on my talk page to your comments. Altairisfar _talk 04:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and I have re-replied on yours.Middlesexlodge (talk) 04:23, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I specifically deleted the article because you had blanked it out - which we generally accept as an intention to withdraw the submission. Beyond that, I would also reiterate the note above that writing articles on subjects with which you are affiliated is strongly discouraged as being incompatible with the mission of Wikipedia. I encourage you to instead try editing other articles on subjects that interest you in order to get a feel for how things work.--Kubigula (talk) 05:01, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
