Institute IMDEA Nanoscience

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Institute IMDEA Nanoscience, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.nanoscience.imdea.org/Profile/tabid/1007/Default.aspx.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 09:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Institute IMDEA Nanoscience

Hello Siya.sherif,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Institute IMDEA Nanoscience for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, YuMaNuMa ^Contrib 09:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

• Quite apart from the copyright issue, the article was unambiguously promotional, which on its own would have been sufficient grounds for deletion. As you can see above, there are methods of donating copyright materials, but in my experience it is almost never worth the effort of doing so, as material copied from an organisation's web site about that organisation is invariably too promotional in character to be of any use as a Wikipedia article, no matter what its copyright status.

Conflict of interest

Hello, Siya.sherif. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Institute IMDEA Nanoscience, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
