The International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering: Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship
editHello LesTom3,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, The International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering: Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship, may be copied from http://library.queensu.ca/ojs/index.php/ijsle/about/editorialPolicies. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 00:55, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering: Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The International Journal for Service Learning in Engineering: Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. gsk 01:03, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
