15:55:15, 13 December 2014 review of submission by Tan bhad
I am writing to seek your advice on my article that was rejected. I put these together about my father who though not a famous person has influenced the life of many very significantly. What specific supporting material can I provide to enable publishing of this piece (I have read the links that were provided about reliable third party references and not totally sure about the specifics on what to provide). Appreciate your help.

 * Tan bhad, unfortunately it appears that your father does not qualify to be the subject of an article. There are many, many, many wonderful people in the world who have done good work, but very, very few of them qualify for an article. The only people that we have articles on are those who are extensively documented in news media, books, academic research, etc. We cannot publish an article based on your personal observations, original documents such as certificates, diplomas, etc. While your efforts are appreciated, the topic of your father is simply not a publishable one at this time.

Yesterday I received a message from YmBlunter quoting "I had to remove all the text you added since you copied it verbatim from the external site. First, this constitutes copyright violation. Please never ever do it again if you do not want your account to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Additionally, this is not a reliable source. The information in the article must be supported by reliable sources.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:04, 13 December 2014 (UTC)".

Yes,it is true that I copied the contents from the official website.But the reality is that I am the administrator of the website.So its me the copyright holder of the text in the website since I created the page and the details.I am confused by this copyright issues.How can I resolve this problem?I want to include the same description in wikipedia as like in the official website.Is there any problem for that?Kindly help me to publish this article.
