If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

- Wikipedia has no way of verifying who you are, and we do not have much more in the way of verifying that you do indeed hold the copyright for the material you posted. Even if you did, we cannot accept copyrighted material, even from their copyright holders. Because what you posted was found in elsewhere, we cannot use it here. Furthermore, if the material was summarized and then just cited your website, personal websites fail our reliable sourcing guidelines (which may be found here).
