Arnold Skolnick
I have added a variety of templates to the Arnold Skolnick article. I considered copy-editing it to remove all unsubstantiated claims, leaving only the disinterested, but what would remain would be a mere stub, and requesting inline cites would mean adding a request to virtually every sentence and clause.… the whole article is pure promotional aggrandizing flannel. Now, what is written may or may not be true, however, encyclopedic style dictates that claims and opinions have to be substantiated with links to primary and independent sources.
Please consider re-writing the article, also removing its editorializing and hyperbolic aspect, (
This hyperbole doesn’t aggrandize Skolnick; the show of blatant promotion appears as a desperation to impress, and in a Wiki article it diminishes him. I say all this because I believe him to be notable. Acabashi (talk) 01:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
