[edit] Speedy deletion of McAdory High School
A tag has been placed on McAdory High School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- Having an article about this high school is an excellent idea, and you are encouraged to edit it. Please do not just copy words from the school's website though. That is a violation of copyright and is not allowed by Wikipedia rules and guidelines. Feel free to read the information on the school's website and put it in your own words. If you would like some help, please leave a message on my talk page. Truthanado (talk) 01:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

- The McAdory High School article has been expanded and copyright concerns have been resolved. It could benefit from further expansion, for example: curriculum, notable sports accomplishments, clubs and organizations, etc. Feel free to take a look and edit it as you see fit. Please remember though that copying text from another website is not allowed. Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 03:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
