This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Commodity Index, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Commodity price index. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 18:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

- You will need to establish notablility from secondary sources by providing references to those sources. See Wikipedia:Notability. The article read as a promotion piece and not as an encyclopedia article. see Wikipedia:Your first article. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 17:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. As per Wassupwestcoast above, notability has to be established from secondary sources; the articles lacked any references to the product by impartial third-party expert sources and, when a unique product that is only sold by one company is the subject of an article wherein all the information comes from that company, that's pretty much defined as advertising. I must say that I find it difficult to conceive of an article about a product that is only available from a single company as not being advertising for that product; I'm not sure if it can be done. Since you were kind enough to ask my preference, I would suggest that your efforts would be better spent on a generic version, explaining what this type of product is in general terms, and referring to the specific product by providing a link at the end under "External Links". Alternatively, if the product is so specialized as to be impossible to discuss outside its individual context (if it cannot be expressed as a generic article) then perhaps the better course would be if the product was inserted as a paragraph or section in an article about the company itself, since it would be inextricably linked to the company. Whichever way you choose, I would recommend that you try to establish the notability of the concept by giving citations to impartial third-party expert sources such as magazine articles, newspaper articles, books, and reputable websites (but not, for instance, blogs or forums), and be sure that other editors can verify the expert sources -- unless you choose to make this a section of the article about the company, which I believe has notability already. I appreciate your willingness to work within Wikipedia's guidelines and I remain ready to offer any help within my abilities. Accounting4Taste:talk 22:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Your recent edits[edit]
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. IrishGuy talk 19:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Rogers Commodity Index[edit]
Dreamins (talk) 19:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC) Hi there. You've recently edited RICI page and removed the indicatives section. I just wanted to tell you that I'm not from ML or ABN AMRO and not affiliate of any kind with them, so "(posted by Merrill Lynch with ML link)" is not objective. If you can write something about indicatives being traded without mentioning company names or links to them - go on please. Moreover there was no links to them, only to wiki entries, all other sources was third party.
Thanks.
