Project Syndicate-- copy vio? or spam?

Hi, this gives the appearance of being a copyright violation or spam. Wikipedia is not appropriate for self-promotion. You might want to recast the article to a neutral point of view, change the pronouns from "we" to "they," and rewrite the article in your own words if they are not your own. If they are your own, you must acknowledge such on the article's discussion page. If the work is your own, please remember you are free licensing it under GNU Free Documentation License Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 15:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for your note. ( You might want to add new notes to the bottom of the talk page. It helps keep the information flowing. I guess the first question to address is one of copyright. If you are not the creator of the material in the article, it must be completely rewritten- convey the same information in your own words.

The next is the tone. If this is material you have copyright on, it needs to be more objective, but the meat of the article can remain unchanged. However, [[WP:vanity|articles about oneself or one's organization looks like self promotion. If it is too one-sided, it might be reviewed at Articles for deletion.

There, a group of editors looks it over, determines if its suitable under our multitudinous guidelines, and if a consensus believes it should be deleted, it will be. If no consensus or consensus to keep, it is kept. I think the guideline would be WP:CORP. Since I got many hits on Google for the subject, that may not be a big concern. I'll look the thing over and see what I think. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 15:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

That's better, but the question still remains, did you just copy and paste someone else's work, or are you the creator of the works the article was taken from? You will need to be able to prove an assertion of it being your own work. If not, it still needs to be rewritten. :) Dlohcierekim 16:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
