Speedy deletion nomination of Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence
A tag has been placed on Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence 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 clear 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence
I noticed your problems at Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence. Your comment on the article talk page (that you own the copyright) is a common misunderstanding which some reflection will show is not helpful here. That is because we are all essentially unknown people who could make any claim. The Donating copyrighted materials link provided in the blizard of information above outlines the procedure. However, in practice, very few people follow up on that donating link because it is easier to rewrite the material in accordance with Wikipedia's style (but you have to make sure that you really are not plagiarising the original).

Unfortunately you have another common problem: please see Username policy which explains that role accounts are not permitted because each account should be controlled by a single user who is here to benefit the encyclopedia, rather than some external organization. I'm just trying to let you know that there are some good reasons for your unfortunate early experience here, and you can ask at my talk page if you want some help.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding below this notice the text. Thank you.
