[edit] Hi

I can see you're having some troubles. I speedy deleted the above articles, not because they weren't notable but because you can't just post a Times article here without their permission. It's a breach of copyright, which can get Wikipedia into trouble.

Now, re Charles Fraser (of Blackdown Park). It's very hard to work out what claims of notability he has. What would you say would be the #1 most notable thing about him?

Getting new articles into Wikipedia is not easy for newbies. We generally recommend you start by editing existing articles first. --Dweller (talk) 13:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
