Ballyholme Yacht Club
I am sorry that I had to remove everything you had added to the artcile Ballyholme Yacht Club. Wikipedia is not a medium to promote a club and that was just what you were doing. Only clear facts, backed up by reliable third party sources, can be added. No mail-addresses and no phone numbers are allowed, but a link to the website is! Watch out for promotional words and phrases (like "superb"). Having read the whole story, I get the impression that you have been copying from a website. Unless the website makes absolutely clear that it makes no copyright claims, we have to assume that the owner of the website does make a copyright claim, even when you made the website yourself. Policy is to avoid copy and paste as to avoid copyright problems. However, it is allowed to use the information from a website for an article, as long as you make a completely new text from it (not change a word here and there).

It is a pity to start off with a false start, but I hope that this makes things clear how to do it. Good luck! Night of the Big Wind talk  16:44, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
