Speedy deletion nomination of American Style Nunchaku


A tag has been placed on American Style Nunchaku 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. 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 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 Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Asnfederation", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:56, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Mr. WikiDan61 I am the webmaster of the American Style Nunchaku Federation and I have the federation's permission to post this text. However I was at this point only trying to learn how Wikipedia works as this is my first article here. My intent is to edit the text so it does not seem copied from the webpage (a text I wrote myself a year ago).

Regarding the username perhaps "Asnfederation_webmaster" would be more appropriate. I Chose "asnfederation" because I use the same username in my mail = easy to remember. I am the only one using it. I do not see how this conflicts with your terms of use.
 * Usernames may not imply that you are editing on behalf of an organization. (See WP:ORGNAME.)  Changing your name to "asnfederation_webmaster" would not help, as it would still imply that you are here on behalf of the organization.  Remember, you are not to use Wikipedia to promote your organization, which does not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion anyway.  You would do well to choose a name that better represents you, rather than your role.  Perhaps something along the lines of "nunchakist" (or whatever term one uses for a nunchaku expert).  You could use your knowledge of this particular martial art form to improve many articles at Wikipedia, rather than simply concentrating on promoting your own organization.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 18:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
