- The Sporting Exchange Limited claims copyright on the text. Do you represent them? Have you followed the procedures at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission?
- As a side note, it's generally a Bad Idea to edit and especially to create articles on yourself or topics you are closely associated with. You might want to review Wikipedia's guidelines on writing an article on yourself and managing conflicts of interest. – Þ 01:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- In that vein, I have nominated Dream for Kids for deletion. You are welcome to participate in the deletion discussion. The primary concern is that the organization is not notable, which is used in a very specific sense on Wikipedia. More information is available from Wikipedia:Notability, but the nub of it is that a topic is considered notable if there are multiple non-trivial published works available from reliable sources. If such sources are available, you should add them to the article and explain so in the discussion. – Þ 02:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
