This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.stopcancerfund.org/about-us.
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) 00:20, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oops, I'm sorry for not responding to your previous note. I'm a graduate student in finals week, and I just finished my last project about 20 minutes ago; it's been easy to forget about Wikipedia messages this week. Looking over the article, I now think I was wrong in deleting it. "A7" is one of our criteria for speedy deletion, and it allows for the immediate deletion of pages that don't explain the importance of the topics that they discuss. I'm now realising that it explains more about the organisation's importance than I had thought, especially with the America's Best Charities bit. Administrators like me can undelete pages as well as deleting them, so I'll simply undelete it and you'll have it back as if nothing had happened. I do need to warn you that the page really isn't neutral: it sounds like a tame promotional brochure put out by the Fund. For that reason, I'm going to remove the mission statement, since its inclusion verbatim really isn't necessary (we can talk about it without quoting it), and I'd suggest that you reduce the middle paragraph's list of accomplishments. However, the promotional nature of the page is nowhere near strong enough to deserve deletion on advertising grounds, there are no copyright problems aside from the long quotation of the mission statement, and the "importance" bit isn't the problem that I thought it was, so there is no good reason for this page to stay deleted. I'm sorry that I didn't pay close enough attention before. Nyttend (talk) 01:23, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- By the way, about the notice from Madmanbot — see the bit about "It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists." Aside from the quotation, all of the things that scared the bot were phrases such as "the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund is" and "the National Research Center for Women and Families", which obviously aren't problems. The bot indeed was confused. Nyttend (talk) 01:26, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
