The page is simply copied off a website. Permission or not, it doesn't have any meaning. TheHypnotist 05:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

You haven't even given me a chance to do anything with it. Everytime I get it up it gets deleted. This man does have relevance, and if you search for him on Wiki you will not find anything on him.

Please do not remove deletion templates. Instead, leave a reply underneath.

Okay,

Point being, this is ridiculous. If you guys won't even give me a chance to fix or learn how to do things then what's the point? I've been on here a total of what, 7 minutes, and you're already trying to delete what I have saved so far?

I'm sorry YOU don't think he is relevant, but do you take it upon yourself to speak for everyone else?

We are NOT saying it is irrelevant, we are simply saying you NEED to fix your format, and you can NOT just copy and paste work directly from another site. Even if it is not plageurism because you say it is public text, it still does NOT fit the Wiki format. thus, I say: Delete - Does not follow wiki format, and none of the text is the authors own work.TheHypnotist 05:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, by your attitude I knew that you were already going to delete it. Who else would jump on someone five minutes after they started. What a shame, how discouraging.

And, since you can't seem to acknowledge what I'm saying, I already have stated that I wasn't finished with anything before I was being sent messages and notices about deletion.

Take a look at the bottom of the page you just copied the text from: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=1155

It strictly says that reproduction is strictly prohibited. Whether or not you were finished with the article, it's illegal.TheHypnotist 06:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
