Speedy deletion of James Scott Cooper

A tag has been placed on James Scott Cooper 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 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 {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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.

James Scott Cooper Submitted by: Brenden Quinn James Cooper was a very influential prohibition figure that gained prosperity through the prohibition era. Born in London, Ontario in 1874, Cooper became one of the wealthiest and most powerful bootleggers in Canada. Although he never carried alcohol in his person, Cooper found loopholes in the law. This loophole allowed him to sell and deliver liquor to Ontario residents legally. Ontario had voted for prohibition in October 1919. This law lay out that residents were allowed to purchase liquor for private use only. Saloons, bars were closed, and the only way to consume alcohol was in the privacy of the individual’s home. Because Cooper discovered there was nothing to prevent Ontario distilleries from completing any orders not originating in Ontario, he opened an office across the river in Detroit. By taking orders by phone from customers in Windsor, Cooper was allowed to produce and provide alcohol to his customers. By Working on a commission basis for Hiram Walker, and a director for Dominion Distillery products, Cooper moved away from traditional aspects of bootlegging and was known as the businessman of bootlegging. James Scott Cooper was indeed the link between the customers and the companies. On average he managed to make one dollar per case for his work. Although much of Cooper’s fortune was made through bootlegging, he was also one of the leading innovators for farming in southern Ontario. In 1918, Cooper bought 105 acres of farm near Belle River and tiled the acreage so that spring crops could be ready approximately two weeks sooner. This new visionary style of field draining used clay tiles, and created a new era of farming for the community. Tiling was an expensive and unknown reality at the time, but it was a revolutionary agricultural practice. It was exactly what the farming community of Essex County was looking for. The new tiling experiment was quickly noticed by neighbouring farms and word spread rapidly through southern Ontario. Using his business intuition, Cooper started the construction of a tiling factory on his own farm. A project that very rapidly was creating 10 thousand tiles and 20 thousand bricks a day. He initiated the widespread practice of deep ploughing and revolutionised farming. To add to his stature Cooper also built the Belle River Seed and Grain Company. Being the influential figure he was, James Scott Cooper built several businesses, including a mansion in Walkerville that has since been torn down, and a two-story building in Belle River. Formally the Cooper Hotel, the Cooper Court was constructed in 1920 at a cost of 40 thousand dollars. This local bar is still open for business to this current date, offering only OV on tap. Throughout his wealth Cooper resisted the temptation to invest in the stock market. He was one of the very few wealthy men in the late 1920’s and 1930’s to keep his wealth through the October 1929 stock market crash.

I have placed this request on hold. I have contacted the admin who initially blocked you, as I think this is acceptable. This is standard practice to involve the initial blocking admin in the decision to unblock. Please await his response. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:58, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Go for it, Jayron. Of course, I leave any tutoring on WP:N, WP:CITE and formatting to you :-) Tan | 39 04:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Now that you are unblocked

Go ahead and post the article. If you need some help formatting it and cleaning it up, you may want to glance at some other articles to see how most articles are organized, linked, formatted, and referenced. See also WP:CITE and WP:MOSLINK and WP:LAYOUT for some basic information on making an article compliant with our Manual of Style. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me, and I will do my best to help out. Good luck and happy editing. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
