Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

National Down Syndrome Congress
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of National Down Syndrome Congress, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.ndsccenter.org/about/history.php.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Leslie Cochran
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit to Leslie Cochran, Wikipedia articles need to be written in a formal, businesslike tone. Replacing proper terms with slang or argot is not appropriate, as explained at WP:TONE. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 23:39, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

National Down Syndrome Congress
We ought to have an article on this organization. However, the current state is a close paraphrasing of material under copyright. I realize you have reworded it slightly, but it is generally not a good idea to copy and paste and then edit. It invariably ends up too close to the original. It is better to review multiple sources (which you need anyway), read them, and then write something in your own words.

The article when first posted should have citations. If you were planning to add them in minutes, some might cut you some slack, but not "sometime this week".

If you would like to put together an article at your leisure, where the first draft might not be final, consider starting it using the Article Wizard, which has an option to start in your user space. That is less likely to get deleted, and can be moved into main space when ready. (Very new users cannot perform a move, but I'll help if needed.)

Exclamation points have their place, but not as used in the last sentence of the history section. I've seen exclamation points in direct quotes, but not outside.-- SPhilbrick  T  14:37, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of National Down Syndrome Congress


A tag has been placed on National Down Syndrome Congress requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. E. Fokker (talk) 21:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
