Hello, Makai HK, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion of Chinese Human Rights Defenders

A tag has been placed on Chinese Human Rights Defenders requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, I actually decided not to request deletion of the article. I researched the group and found out it was notable. However, I deleted a great deal of the material in the article as it was a blatant copyright violation from the group's website. I went ahead and cleaned up the article a bit, and I also added a couple valid references. Please feel free to contribute to the article with original content(not copied from another website). Also, make sure that whatever info you add is backed up by valid sources. If you have any questions just leave a message on my talk page.Wacko Jack O 16:04, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
