I (and several others including members of the sport's governing bodies) have undone the changes on the Rock-it-Ball page regarding the invention of the game for various reasons.


 * There is an internal dispute in the commercial company side of things and individual point scoring has no place on the Wikipedia page


 * The post that Rock-it-Ball was 'the brainchild of' or was 'invented by' Paul Law is inaccurate. It was developed by three people (mentioned later, factually, in the Hall of Fame section)


 * The Rock-it-Ball page is about the sport and therefore we aim to keep it objective, non-commercial, impartial, unbiased and factual - as per Wikipedia guidelines.

We therefore aim to avoid any commercial promotion or any self-promotion. We certainly do not wish to see it become a battle-ground for an individual with an axe to grind.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:2012 V2African Nations Champion Malingha Timothy.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:2012 V2African Nations Champion Malingha Timothy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Stefan Thank you for pointing out that there is an apparent permissions conflict on photos that I have posted on the Wikipedia article, namely for the two photos below

File:2013 V2 Youth World Cup Final.jpg

File:TomHildrethOnWayTo2013V2WorldChampionship.jpg

I notice from the alerts that have been posted that you need a written confirmation.

when I posted them I granted permission under the open license as requested and felt that was all in order as I took the photos and I own the photos, however, I had forgotten that when I edited them and posted them in an album on the VX International webpage that I had watermarked the image with the copyright VX International text for VX International to use them.

I can confirm that I took the photos and I own the photos and am happy for the photos to be re-usable under the open license. If, however, the watermark causes confusion I am quite happy to remove them (or for them to be removed) and I can then upload photos without the watermark, however, please note, the photo of Malingha Timothy doesn't have the watermark.
