I only intended it to be a draft that i was working on. It was not supposed to be published that way. I wasnt sure how to save my work as a draft and not publish it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Jeff Grant

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Jeff Grant requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://prisonist.org/about-jeff-grant/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Contested deletion

The page has one sentence that I wrote myself and several attributes to articles. There is not any copyright infringement. The words are my own and the articles are references as sources listed. My intent is to add more to the page. The references section shows the validity of how many articles have been written, adding to his credibility as the entry.

  Hello, I'm Lord Belbury. Your recent edit(s) to the page Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Christian Gardner is named in the cited source as one of the four creators.

Thanks, I've taken a look for some stronger sources, including Turtle interviewing Bacon, and it looks like you're right, I'll update the article accordingly and put those sources in instead of the current one. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:40, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much.
