Atomium Culture
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Atomium Culture, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://atomiumculture.org/node/34. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:00, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

How do I give the permission to use the text from the website of Atomium Culture (I have the permission)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Brown 1965 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 17 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The page http://atomiumculture.org/node/34 states that the text is released under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, so you don't have to provide the permission. But to keep the licensing terms, the article has to state that it comes from that page. I already added such note. Svick (talk) 17:05, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of European Manifesto of Atomium Culture


A tag has been placed on European Manifesto of Atomium Culture, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  DGG ( talk ) 14:11, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Status and advice
As reviewing administrator, I initially placed that tag on the article, so another admin can judge it for deletion. However, I found a solution to avoid it being deleted. The material is the same as one of the paragraphs in the article Atomium Culture, with the only addition being the text of the manifesto. I therefore made a cross-reference, redirecting the article to Atomium Culture. Therefore, anyone who should search for information about the Manifesto, will find the information they are looking for.

The actual text of the manifesto is however a copy  of http://www.atomiumculture.eu/mail/theeuropeanmanifesto.html#englishversion. I see from the article on Antomium Culture that you have licensed the material under the appropriate copyright. However, we almost never incorporate such texts in full in our articles. We would normally use a summary or excerpt, which does not need a copyright release.

I however alert you that I consider the main article itself highly promotional, and I am considering the two options, of rewriting it much more briefly, or listing it for deletion. Even with permission according to WP:DCM, the copy of a web page will have contents and tone that are not  encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

Since there are several editors involved, I have put a fuller discussion at the talk page of that article, Talk:Atomium Culture

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of the organization wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.  DGG ( talk ) 14:42, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
