Speedy deletion nomination of Super Mac Race

edit
 

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 Super Mac Race 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showtopic=170511. 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 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 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 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 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.

I've declined the speedy deletion because a look at the forum shows you using the same user name on both and I assume you posted on sailinganrchy first for comment. However because the content has been posted elsewhere before appearing on Wikipedia you will need to follow the process at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries and confirm by email that you are the author of the original text.
I would add that the article has a number of issues which need resolving. Although there are references there is nothing to say which reference supports what part of the text, please see WP:REFB for guidance on how to fix this. It's also appears, to me, to be overly detailed and written for people who have an specialist interest in the subject rather than the average Wikipedia reader.
