Articles about your own inventions
WP:NOT is the specific policy about why you cannot have an article about your own original invention. Specifically:
 * Original inventions. If you or a friend invented the word frindle, a drinking game, or a new type of dance move, it is not notable enough to be Wikipedia article material until multiple, independent, and reliable secondary sources report on it. Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.

Also, in your article you claimed copyright of the material. Wikipedia cannot accept material that is claimed as copyrighted, unless it has been properly licensed. Singularity42 (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
