Speedy deletion nomination of Lawrence H. Knox
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 Lawrence H. Knox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear 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. 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- Never mind. Just don't revert the edit I made to your article, and you'll be fine. --I dream of horses @ 01:55, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Just FYI
The only edit you can't revert is this one. You can still revert any other edit I've made to the article, though every other edit pertains to either copyediting, or making the article easier to find (adding it to categories, wikiprojects, and adding a stub template).
Good luck on Wikipedia. I'm available for any questions; if you want to reach a broader audience with your question, just ask at the help desk, or put {{helpme}} on this talk page, and your question underneath.
I also want to compliment your boldness. A lot of new editors' would stop editing if they get a notice that their article is being speedily deleted, even if the editor who tagged the article is like "Whoops! Your article does meet guidelines!". A lot of others would also make the same mistake over and over again, but I don't think you'll do that. ;-) --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 02:15, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
In response to your feedback
Quite the contrary, I've encountered several honest and courteous administrators. Administrators may make actions that you may not agree with, but admins usually have the best intentions.

This is feedback, not a discussion. I didnt ask you to defend your opinion that is counter to mine. I was sharing my experience of things, in my review of some of the things that administrators have deleted, commented, suspended, or blocked people for.... several administrators are power-hungry dick-wads who dont know how to follow the very rules that they are supposedly sworn to uphold. This is NOT a discussion, this is my opinion of what I have seen. Havabighed (talk) 04:48, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
And "no".... I will not name which administrators are dickwads, because they would just further abuse their power and suspend me. Havabighed (talk) 04:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
