Hi Balletmanagement, welcome to Wikipedia. I removed the content you added to the article you created New York International Ballet Competition, because it appeared to be copied directly from the NYIBC website. Copying material from a website directly into Wikipedia is a copyright violation, and should almost never be done (see our copyright policy). I also noticed that you started the Rolando Sarabia article. Something to keep in mind when you start articles is the ensure they satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria. I think the articles you started are okay, but if you start an article which doesn't meet our notability criteria, then it would be at risk of being deleted. Anyway, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy editing! :-) Mlm42 (talk) 01:24, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mlm42, thanks for your advice and I am sorry for the mistake. I thought that it was okay becuase I use their website as a refernence, but know is clear it was a mistake. I'll write the article again. This is an internationally ballet competition and It is worth mentioning, considering how many famous ballet dancers around the world have won there since 1983. Again, thank you for helping me. =) I will continue editing Rolando Sarabia's article and make sure to include his awards and references so it satisfies Wikipedia's notability criteria. I will also read a little bit more about wikipedia's criteria so I can improve contributions. BalletmanagementBalletmanagement
