Farm Labor Organizing Committee
Thank you for contributing to the article Farm Labor Organizing Committee. Unfortunately, the text you added about the NC Growers Contract was lifted word for word from the NC Growers Assn. Web site. That constitutes plagiarism in violation of Wikipedia guidelines. It has been removed. If you wish to quote text, please put the text in quotation marks, add an inline citation, and properly footnote the quotation with a reference. I also would counsel against wholesale citation of text, such as you had done. It is one thing to add a few highlights about an important contract (which received media attention), but it is another to use Wikipedia as advertising for FLOC or the NC Growers. That contravenes Wikipedia policy on advertising, propaganda, promotion, showcasing, and soapboxing. Thank you. - Tim1965 (talk) 02:27, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
