50th and 51st Regiments of Foot

Anyone interested in doing a page on the very short-lived 50th and 51st Regiments of Foot? Raised in Massachusetts in 1754, they surrendered to the French in 1756 - see wikipedia page on William_Pepperrell?

Although technically raised in 1754, the numbering on the British Army List suggests that they were allocated numbers when raised in 1745 before Pepperrell's successful expedition to capture Louisbourg in August of that year, but that both regiments were disbanded after that successful campaign, only to be raised again in 1754. The 62nd (Royal American) Regiment was raised in 1754, and after the 50th and 51st surrendered at Oswego in 1756, the 62nd became the 60th, and in due course the Kings Royal Rifle Corps (KRRC). --pepperrell 09:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I put the citation in, that article uses as simple style, can you page reference? It should be obvious how, but if you get stuck let me know. Rich Farmbrough, 15:34 5 February 2008 (GMT).

Speedy deletion nomination of David Wishart

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 David Wishart, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.david-wishart.co.uk/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 deleted 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.
