Hi Joanne2037, and again welcome to Wikipedia!
You might be wondering why I chopped out a lot of text from the article Sydney Improvised Music Association. I understand you might be puzzled by this. The reason is that the initial version included text that was straight from www.sima.org.au/about, and Wikipedia generally cannot include material that is subject to copyright.
OK, so you've started the article. The next thing to is add references from from reliable sources to the article. Can you find mentions of the Sydney Improvised Music Association in the SMH?

Speedy deletion nomination of Sydney Improvised Music Association
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sydney Improvised Music Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. RadioFan (talk) 18:30, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
The article Sydney Improvised Music Association has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- unremarkable university club or musical group. Wide ranging claim of notability "substantial contribution to the jazz and improvised music scene in Sydney and Australia" is not backed up with citations to reliable sources.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 14:31, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
