Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Australian Parkour Association with a link to where we can find that note;
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page.

Your questions
Firstly, please note that permission to use the material would not be sufficient to satisfy our copyright policies. The person or organization who holds the copyright must agree to release it under the GNU Free Documentation License. As this is a free license, it would mean, among other things, that you could not restrict use of the material solely to Wikipedia. Anyone else would be allowed to use and modify the material in any way they should wish without needing your permission. Even if your organization is willing to do that, however, there are other issues involved. First, I cannot verify here that you really do have permission to make the GFDL release even if you wished to do so. We can't just accept someone's word for it (certainly, you wouldn't want us to take the word of just anyone claiming to represent your organization!). We do have means of verifying that such a release really has taken place; generally this is handled by email through our OTRS team, who may be contacted by email at [mailto:info-en-o@wikimedia.org]. Even once these are done, however, the material from the website would have to be substantially written, as it clearly promotes the organization. While of course an organization's website does and should promote it, we do not under any circumstances allow promotional material and will speedily delete it. To have an article, the organization must also have been substantially covered by third-party reliable sources which are not affiliated with the organization. Finally, we do discourage editors from editing particular articles in which they may have a conflict of interest, for example involvement with the organization they are writing about. Hope that helps to clear things up, and please contact me if you have any questions! Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Australian Parkour Association
A tag has been placed on Australian Parkour Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mblumber (talk) 04:05, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
