Speedy deletion nomination of User:Terry Stanfill

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 User:Terry Stanfill 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 http://realmsofgoldthenovel.blogspot.com/2013/11/etruscan-gold-disc-with-bees.html. 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.

User pages and User talk pages are intended only to promote collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service--not a personal website, blog, or social media site, nor are user pages intended to host a fake article, CV/resumé or lengthy autobiography. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia . Using Wikipedia for promotional purposes is intensely frowned upon. Doing so can lead to users being blocked from editing. Inappropriate/non conforming material may be deleted at any time. More information is available at THIS PAGE.
User sandboxess should not contain promotional material or material unconnected with improving Wikipedia, see above.
User space is not intended to contain articles. Please use the Article_wizard for drafting articles, or use the Articles for creation process. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must have significant verifiable information from reliable sources unconnected with the subject.
You might want to look at Wikipedia:Userboxes#Gallery as a means of telling colleagues about yourself.
Wikipedia:User page design center has information that can help you design a user page.
This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you.
