Welcome!

Hello, Windhorse1357, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Foundation for the National Institutes of health, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Foundation for the National Institutes of health requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Need help with Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Wikipedia page

[edit]

I need help developing the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Wikipedia page. My last attempt ended with a deletion because of a copyright infringement of the FNIH.org, http://www.fnih.org/support/corporate. In the interest of full disclosure, I'd like to reveal that I am indeed the web administrator for FNIH.org and that I have the authority to donate certain portions of the website under the Creative Commons licensing agreement. The Foundation for the National Institutes does good work and it's a story that deserves to told. If that is not agreeable to you then I will certainly rewrite the article in my own words. I just needs some assistance as to what is acceptable to Wikipedia.

Thank you Windhorse1357 (talk) 18:28, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The long and short of it is that we need a verifiable release of the material under a free copyright license compatible with our license in order for us to use it (if properly released and the material was used, attribution would still need to be provided to the source to avoid plagiarism). It's not that I don't believe you that you have the authority, but that an assertion of authority by a person using an anonymous account is, rather obviously, not the best evidence. Please also note that even if you release the material properly, much of it is quite promotional sounding and would need to be rewritten anyway. We require articles to be written from a neutral point of view. This was full of peacock language and ad-speak and of course only mentioned glowing material and no criticism, as is the norm for the most organizations when they describe themselves. It also contained highly unsuitable material such as first person statements, e.g., "Each of our partnerships is unique." This is the problem with people writing about topics with which they are closely associated (see WP:COI). I suggest, if you must do this, that you start it as a subpage and ask for review at the help desk before going live (which would be by moving it to the mainspace). Finally note that the article did not cite any secondary, independent, reliable sources that verified its facts, nor established notability.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 19:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Fuhghettaboutit and OlYeller, all advise is duly noted. Perhaps releasing the copyright puts all parties involved in a awkward position, I will rewrite the article in a more neutral less glowing tone for the Foundation for the National Institutes if Health. I will certainly solicit your advise as I progress. --Windhorse1357 (talk) 20:56, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
