You will note that there are issues other than copyright. Assuming good faith and accepting that you are the copyright holder, that the article is not nonsense, and that it gives sources, the article is still liable to deletion. Woohookitty deleted it as original research, which it clearly appears to be. It is most certainly not written in a neutral way, since its whole aim is to promote a particular controversial viewpoint, and the style is unencyclopaedic, reading like the newspaper article it is. Then is no chance of the article surving as a text dump, and I find it difficult to see how the OR and NPOV issues can be addressed. jimfbleak 17:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Deletion Of "Gettin' A Kick Out Of Truth"... What The Warren Commission Missed

Dear Fang Aili, Though my article may read as if it were a newspaper article, the "Facts" represented in it, though a bit controversial and thought provoking, do fall into the "Common Sense" catagory. And come from volumes of work regarded as "Public Domain"... The Warren Commission. Anyway, it is sincerely appreciated that you took time out to respond to my talk box and my hope shall remain that you will consider re-instating "Gettin' A Kick Out Of Truth"... What The Warren Commission Missed. And thank you for the years of both enjoyment and information that Wikipedia has provided my family and I. With sincerest of regards, Mike Regan

Thank you for being so kind and polite. Unfortunately I must echo what jimfbleak says above. Also, it's important to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Everything should be written in an encyclopedic manner. If you should have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I hope you and your family have a great weekend. --Fang Aili talk 17:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
