Copyright and notability
The wording was taken from http://www.panaceaifa.com/. Minor re-wording is not enough to avoid a coyright violation - please read Copy-paste.

Assertion of permission to use is not enough - a formal copyright release has to be made as described in WP:Donating copyright materials.

That is not usually worth doing because text written for other purposes often has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article; also, just posting a copy of a website will not be sufficient, because Wikipedia is not a business listing directory: article subjects must have Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and WP:42 for more detail.

There is good advice at WP:Your first article and the WP:FAQ/Organizations. JohnCD (talk) 20:22, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
