Watergate scandal
i was getting ready to revert your recent paragraph addition to this article, but saw that you appear to be new here, and wanted to spare you that shock i got when one of my first contributions was reverted. my problem with the addition is that it's, in my opinion, unnecessarily wordy, and contained unencyclopedic phrases such as, "A few might speculate". in particular, this sentence is, in my opinion, ungrammatical and almost unreadable:

"But because such an action would be so highly unethical, and because President Nixon had such a relative advantage in the polls and so such an illicit action would be so foolhardy with much to lose if discovered, therefore any link between the president's re-election campaign and this "third -rate burglary" was unimaginable for the vast majority of Americans at this early point in the scandal."

the standard wikipedia recommendation is that i should just make the changes i see fit, rather than considering you the "author" of the section. however, since wikipedia can be a strange situation to get used to, i wanted to run it by you first. i'll be happy to discuss further with you, or i will make the changes if you don't.

Speedy deletion of Canova (medicine)
A tag has been placed on Canova (medicine), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.
