Hello Data added, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I see that you have blanked the article Llanllwch, giving copyright violation as your reason. Unfortunately simply blanking an article which breaches copyright is not sufficient, as the violating material still remains available in the article's history. I have instead nominated the article for deletion under Wikipedia's Criteria for speedy deletion. It is also possible to place a Copyvio template on the article, which hides it from users while it is awaiting deletion: I would have done this if I thought this was a really blatant copyright violation.
It is not surprising that you don't know the best way to deal with this problem if you are new to editing Wikipedia: many of us make much more serious mistakes when we are learning. There is a great wealth of documentation to explain how Wikipedia works, but you can't possibly read it all before starting. However, a few pages you may like to look at are:

The article Hannah Saaf has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
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 {{
dated prod}}
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 {{
dated prod}}
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.

Hello Chzz. I tried to rename it to the event rather than the person but I can't see the button.
OR
OR
These require two parts;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
== References == {{reflist}}
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Data added/reftest and try it out.
Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>
Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.
You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;
Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref>
Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
While you are probably correct about the original sources of much of the information in this article, copyright is only violated if entire sentences of the source text are copied word for word in the article. Including facts from other reliable sources is exactly what should be done here. I don't believe there is any copyright violation in the article any more.
