Speedy deletion nomination of User:Swimtayka/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Swimtayka/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://swimtayka.org/about-us/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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. --TheImaCow (talk • contribs) 07:21, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. Primefac (talk) 15:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

swimtayka (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am the founder of SwimTayka and all the material is from the charity and therefore we own the copyright, please could you approve the page so as we can continue to raise awareness of our cause Bryan Avery @ SwimTayka (talk) 04:59, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Oh dear, no. We don't want you to violate WP:COI and WP:PROMO. It would be very inappropriate for you to "raise awareness of our cause"; Wikipedia is not the place for that. Regardless, you need to pick a new username. Once unblocked, you will be required to abide by WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Yamla (talk) 09:42, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed, so unblocked. Remember, you must declare your conflict of interest as per WP:COI before making your next edit and you are required to avoid raising awareness of your cause, and anything else which would violate WP:COI and WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 13:16, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
