Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. In particular, the problem is that this article was a cut and paste copyright law violation from http://www.adec.edu/admin/adec-background.html — coe l acan — 05:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as The American Distance Education Consortium, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

Wikipedia is not the place to advertise your events
The article Annual International Open and User Innovation Workshop has been 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 or service and which 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 00:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
