Project C.U.R.E.

edit

Thanks for your message on my talk page, and thank you for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia. I have two or three suggestions. First, as a general matter, you may find it helpful to look at some of the pages linked in the "Getting started" box above this, especially Wikipedia's "five pillars". Second, in response to your specific question, the single most important thing you could do to write an encyclopedic article about Project C.U.R.E. would be to include citations to third-party coverage about this organization in reliable sources, such as books, magazines, newspapers, and so on. Based on a quick Google search, it doesn't look like it should be too difficult to find such sources. Then you will be writing a summary of what independent sources have been saying about this organization, instead of simply repeating what it says about itself. And that ties in to my third point, which is that it would be helpful to write an article that doesn't sound like it was copied and pasted from the organization's own website. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme}}Hello. I hope I am writing on the correct forum in order to speak with you. A while ago, our first draft of an article about PROJECT C.U.R.E. was deleted. Since then we have made edits and formatted the article. How would we go about posting it from here? HealthandHope (talk) 15:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

A copycat organization is running a scam

edit

A "charity" using a very similar name (Project Cure) is in the media spotlight:

Action 9's Todd Ulrich exposes Fla. charity.
"Dr. Stephen Barrett said its name sounds like a well-known charity to mislead consumers, and its education program is not what you expect.
“What they do, mostly, is talk about methods that do not have scientific support,” said Barrett."

Project C.U.R.E. should take legal action to stop them. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:09, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
