Speedy deletion of Hackney Community College Basketball Academy
A tag has been placed on Hackney Community College Basketball Academy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant 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.

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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

On the talk page of the deleted page - you said -> I'm the author of the deleted article and also the co-owner of London United. This article was published on wikipedia BEFORE to was subsequently used as the introductory piece on the London United Academy website page. It therefore to my knowledge doesn't infringe any copyright agreement and I request the Hackney Community College Baskeball Academy article is restored to Wikipedia in full at the earliest opportunity. I will also be asking our website administrator to add the GNU release statement with my name on at the earliest opportunity. I should add that I was made aware of the deletion by a University student who was trying to access the article for her dissertation. She'd referred to it a few months ago and then found it deleted when trying to access the articles yesterday.

 * When that notice is present, please let me know and I will be glad to restore the page. Please understand it is not you, or your article, but that wikipedia has to respect other people's copyright - this is why a close copy is quickly removed from here. I'm sorry for any inconvenience - I would restore it now, but without some waiving of the copyright, it would be quickly deleted. Kbthompson (talk) 22:56, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

The GNU release statement has now been added to the appropriate London United webpage as of 0900hrs BST on 22/7/08. Chris Morris Cjm364 (talk) 11:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Apology
Hi. As the editor that placed the deletion tag on the article, I want to apologize for the mistake. It's unusual for the description of an organisation to be taken from Wikipedia to the origanisation's page. It's usually the other way around. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 11:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

No harm done! Every cloud has a sliver lining and in this case it now means I'm much more aware of what needs to be done in order to avoid copyright infringments. On another matter, how do you or kbthompson fancy helping me "wikify" the HCCA article? It's a work in progress as I'll add to it each year with results updates etc. Cheers!

Writing about an organisation with which you have links
Hi Chris

You may wish to read the wiki guidelines on Conflict of interest, hopefully this will avoid any potential pitfalls. cheers Kbthompson (talk) 12:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Will do! Cheers! Chris Cjm364 (talk) 21:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Right! I've read these and see your point.The reason I posted this article originally wasn't to do with self promotion or "free" advertising for the Academy. Rather, I was getting regular requests for detailed information on the programme mainly from undergraduates in the sports field researching info for essays and dissertations. I decided it would be a good idea to put something in the public domain they could reference easily. I've tried to remain as factual and impartial in my edits as possible. Any help you could give in "wikifying" the HCCA article would be much appreciated. Cheers! Chris Cjm364 (talk) 21:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
