American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.purchase.org/charity/show/id/35/.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:12, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association


A tag has been placed on American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.purchase.org/charity/show/id/35/. 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 Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have permission from Virginia Ladd, President of AARDA, to use the content. However, I do not think I can get anything formal from her for several weeks. If the content can be left on wikipedia it would be great. Ironically I am not sure if the site referred to in your note, http://www.purchase.org/charity/show/id/35/, has any permission to use the content on our website. Where do they say they have a copyright? It is not their material. It is ironic that we are suffering consequences because they stole our material and posted it on their website. I do not know anything about them - they may be legitimate, but they do not hold a copyright for this material - it is from the AARDA website and it belongs to us.

Speedy deletion nomination of Autoimmune Research Network


A tag has been placed on Autoimmune Research Network requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

List of autoimmune diseases qualifiers
The use of Y and N as qualifiers in the List of autoimmune diseases is unfortunate given their yes/no significance in English (which partially opposes the formerly-was/was-not-before meaning in the current iteration of the article). Since you (apparently) initiated the change, it would be great if you could lead an update to more readily understood (really, not misunderstood) symbols (I know this is a bit of an ask, but seeing `Y' as a special endorsement and `N' as an implicit repudiation is quite jarring!). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:8E57:3800:A78A:90E:ED25:490B (talk) 20:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

I agree - the "Y"/"N" characterization is not helpful. I only kept it because the previous list used it and I wanted to retain the historical data as much as possible since I had changed the format extensively. This table needs to be updated. I will see if I can go through, remove this older characterization, and put something more meaningful in.Aaron Abend (talk) 12:58, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
