Speedy deletion of Jarapa
A tag has been placed on Jarapa 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.

Sorry, I am completely and utterly confused by this process!! I was trying to add a page about jarapa rugs, and the information came from my website, so i cited it. Yes, it is a commercial site, but this whole Wikipedia thing is totally un-user friendly as far as I can see, and it wasn't clear this was not allowed! I couldn't even see how to put an entry on jarapas under 'weaving' which would have made sense. And I am not even sure you will get this message because i haven't got a clue whether I am typing in the right place. I cannot see any way of contacting anyone and this is the most frustrating experience I have had for a long time! So, basically, I would have preferred it if you had just deleted the link, instead of accusing me of spamming etc, and as for my name being unsuitable - why? Anyhow, I would appreciate it if you didn't blacklist me all over the internet, it was an honest mistake. I'll stick to reading Wikipedia now, trying to add anything to it just isn't worth the bother/risk! Cheers, er, Jarapa.
