What happened

Your new article on Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) was deleted because

1. it was blatantly promotional and
2. it was a copyright violation of this page and this page at the organization's website.

Since the deleting admin didn't provide any feedback, I thought I would point out what happened so you can avoid the same mistakes in the future. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, we were already discussion that in the IRC. (I was also requesting the userfy until I noticed the copyright problem) mabdul 14:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
