This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of National Conference of Insurance Guaranty Funds, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: National Conference of Insurance Guaranty Associations. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. MadmanBot (talk) 19:47, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi JamesBWatson. Thanks for the feedback. I didn't write the copy for the article; our communications director did. I'm just the CIO. I told our communications guy that whatever we submit needed to be impartial. I think the article is a fair attempt at impartiality. It's very similar to the articles of other organizations similar to ours:  NAIC,  Reliance and  NOLHGA.

I appreciate, tho, that our perspective may be unintentionally biased. Is there some specific content we can change to remove the on the page?

Thanks. Aholladay ncigf (talk) 22:05, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Aholladay_NCIGF Welcome to Wikipedia.
