Speedy deletion nomination of International Network of Museum for Peace
A tag has been placed on International Network of Museum for Peace 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.

The basic problem you're facing
I understand your desire to use Wikipedia to inform people about your organization to promote it. However, you're running into a basic problem: Wikipedia is not intended as a promotional tool. As a board member, you want to spread the word, but you actually shouldn't be creating an article on your own organization, as its a conflict of interest under Wikipedia policy. You want to reuse materials from the organization website, but Wikipedia doesn't want to focus on what the organization says about itself, but rather on what reliable third-party sources says about the organization. You want to include contact information, but Wikipedia bars such inclusion. The whole concern about consistency of message is in strong conflict with Wikipedia, as it's not here to deliver your message.

So how can you get an article about the organization onto Wikipedia? The best way is to a request that someone else make an article. That way, others not associated with the organization can look into the matter and see if the organization meets the guidelines for inclusion, and can obtain appropriate information from third-party sources.

Let me know if you have any questions. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:48, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and if you want to allow folks to use materials from the website, here are notes on how to do that. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
