961 Beer
[edit]I have deleted your contribution for two reasons:
- It was copied from http://961beer.com. Wikipedia cannot accept text copied from elsewhere unless a formal copyright release has been made. Below every edit screen it says: "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." Assertion of permission is not enough. Please read Wikipedia:Copy-paste, and the more detail Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors' rights and obligations.
- It is very seldom worth making a copyright release because, as in this case, material written for other purposes usually has a promotional tone quite unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, often written in the first person ("Our ingredients are of the highest quality...") and using marketing-speak and "peacock terms": "Our devotion is unconditional. Our team is intelligent, motivated, dedicated... "
Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. Articles require a neutral point of view and any claims must be verifiable from reliable sources. Article subjects need Wikipedia:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
