Hi - I noticed you created MCA Romania. Can you let me know the source for this text? I'm guessing you didn't write it yourself but that it's copied from somewhere, but I can't find it on the web. Please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material. I've created a note indicating I think the article may consist of copyrighted text at Talk:MCA Romania. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

The article was deleted because its content wasn't consistent with the basic goal of Wikipedia. The system recorded it as a deletion due to "advertising". I understand that this looks odd since MCA is not a commercial enterprise but it was still written like a brochure for the centre, not as a third-party objective account of MCA's history and importance. For a decent example of what an article on that sort of topic should look like, see Simon Wiesenthal Center. The other thing to keep in mind is that the content should be properly attributed to third-party sources and ideally written by someone outside the organization to ensure objectivity. It also could be that the MCA isn't sufficiently notable to currently justify an article. Best, Pascal.Tesson (talk) 22:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
