Talk:Horspath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The page for Horspath is not an advert. It is preliminary information for visitors to our village. Please do not delete it. Thank you.

- Sorry, but according to WP:DEL
Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company, product, group or service as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion.
This article falls into this category. Bearly541 11:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I cleaned up the article. Cities, towns and villages are pretty much universally agreed to be important enough for articles, so they are cleaned up or rewritten whenever possible. Also, text submitted to Wikipedia cannot be copyrighted, so I removed the copyright notice. If it was written by the poster, then he or she released the copyright when he or she posted it. If the person posted the content without permission of the author, then it is a copyright violation and must be deleted. I did not find the content on the website or on any page in Google's index, so I did not delete the article for now. In the posting form, there are two highly visible warnings about posting copyrighted content, one of which includes a notice that contributions are licensed under the GFDL. -- Kjkolb 12:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, but it looked like an advertisement when I first saw it. Thank you! Bearly541 12:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you Kjkolb for tidying my text and for explaining conventions. I apologise to all for my ignorance. I hope to add more information about my village of Horspath, so I'll try not to let it look like an advert in future. Happy New Year.

- It was my pleasure. Also, it would be wonderful if you added more information. Thanks, Kjkolb 04:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
