Speedy deletion nomination of Rick Stokes

You just created the page again, with these comments.

Se trata de un error; en ningún momento he querido atacar al Señor Rick Stokes. Sólo quería crear un esbozo de artículo en honor a su figura para que el resto de usuarios de Wikipedia lo fuera ampliando. Repito, en ningún momento he querido usar un tono inadecuado, tal vez se deba a que soy un español escribiendo en inglés, por lo que me habré expresado mal. Siento la equivocación, pero en todo caso, creo que un Señor como Rick Stokes que es parte de la historia LGBT de Estados Unidos, bien merece tener su sitio en Wikipedia. Saludos.

It is a mistake; I never wanted to attack Mr. Rick Stokes. I just wanted to create a sketch of an article in honor of his figure in order the rest of the Wikipedia users were expanded it. I repeat, I never wanted to use an inappropriate tone, perhaps because I am an Spanih writing in English, so I would have expressed badly. I feel the mistake, but in any case, I think that a man like Rick Stokes is part of the U.S. LGBT history, He deserves his place in Wikipedia. Regards.

You shouldn't create a live article to discuss things.

That page will be deleted.

Please try using WP:WIZARD to make a draft article, instead.

Article creation

Hi,

No one is going to have an objection if you create an article that is not an attack page and covers a person that conforms to our WP:BIO notability policy. However you should not post explanations and requests to the mainspace Wikipedia. You will need to add proper information to Rick Stokes very soon, or the article will get deleted again.

Copyright issue at Rick Stokes

There will be some boilerplate below about copyright stuff, and it is important, but as you seem to be a newer editor here I thought it might be helpful for me to explain my concerns in my own words first. When you add material to Wikipedia, you are offering it up for us to reuse by ourselves and other folks as well. This precludes the addition of copyrighted material unless the author of that material explicitly grants the appropriate permissions--we here at Wikipedia can't be seen as ripping off other people's text. Even if it's your own, we need to be certain that we have the appropriate permissions, or remove any material that appears to be taken from other sources.

It is also important, if you improve the article, to add additional secondary, reliable sources--e.g., news articles or books that discuss the subject of the article. Material which comes from the subject itself, directly or indirectly (book blurb biographies, the author's own web site, facebook page, etc.) aren't considered sufficiently reliable for most purposes.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance by dropping a line onto my Talk page. Best, --j⚛e decker^{talk to me} 16:58, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

(And now the boilerplate....
