Copyright and page bloat

On diabetes mellitus you basically copied & pasted a large swathe of text directly from the JDRF homepage (http://www.jdrf.org.uk/page.asp?section=0001000100050001). I believe this is a copyright problem, as the JDRF website forbids reproduction of its content on sites like Wikipedia. I believe the diabetes page is already quite long, and if you want to discuss the JDRF's goals the best page for that would be the JDRF's own page, or possibly (in a shorter form) the DM1 page. Let me know if you have any questions. JFW | T@lk 16:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

It's also a conflict of interest, since you work for JDRF. Please read WP:COI, which has good suggestions about how to handle situations like this. Good luck, WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Parkinson's Insights

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Parkinson's Insights requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Inks.LWC (talk) 03:13, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Creating all these articles

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as People With Parkinson's Advisory Council, you will be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:37, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Clinical Research Learning Institute, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

The problem here is that you have a blatant conflict of interest, and that you seemed to be unable or unwilling to contribute to this project in any way other than by adding articles about and links to JDRF-related entities. Are you aware that you can create a sandbox (software development) for working on draft articles by simply typing User:Rlewinson/TheNameOfTheArticleYouAreWorkingOn, clicking on the resultant red link, and starting to edit? That way, when you think the draft is ready for prime time, you can ask other editors to have a look at it and give you feedback, by leaving a message at WP:FEEDBACK. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:55, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Clinical Research Learning Institute

The article Clinical Research Learning Institute has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability, fails WP:CORP

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
