That's the boilerplate--this is the friendly bit--thank you for trying to contribute to Wikipedia, but your contributions appear to me to be in violation of any number of wikipedia policies. The most pressing one is copyright, when you take copyrighted material and place it on Wikipedia we have no choice but to delete it unless the appropriate legal niceties are followed, see the text above. Beyond that point, anything in an article here should be backed by reliable, secondary sources, please read WP:RS for an overview, but in short, "secondary" sources usually refers to coverage in mainstream newspapers, magazines and books You'll also need to read and understand WP:GNG, WP:NOT (particularly WP:NOTADVERTISING) and WP:COI. If I can be of any assistance in helping you work around these hurdles, let me know by leaving a note on my talk page, I'll be glad to explain the concerns. Thanks! -- j &#9883; e decker  talk  04:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

In addition to the above, you appear to be here primarily to promote the American Indoor Lacrosse Association. This is not the venue to promote organizations you are connected with. If you add copyrighted material to Wikipedia again, or add promotional material again, you will be blocked from editing. -- Andy Walsh  (talk)  19:19, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
