Hi Arxiloxos. I see you mentioned that the Broadway Cares entry seems like advertising or for promotion. However, Broadway Cares isn't selling anything. I just took some information from the history of Broadway Cares and their events and included those facts in my wikipedia entries. How are those advertising or promotion? Thanks!

 * From my point of view, the root of the problem is that the article now contains way more detail than we would usually like to have in an encyclopedic article (see WP:NOTEVERYTHING) and quite a bit of what is there is written in purple prose, what Wikipedians often call puffery and peacock terminology: language like "a testament to the ingenuity, resourcefulness and generosity of the American theatre community", in Wikipedia's own voice, is not the sort of thing that Wikipedia editors like to see. Other editors may find other concerns even more compelling. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia decisions are made by consensus.  I encourage you to review the policy pages listed in the notice above, and when you are ready to do so, you may join the ongoing discussion at Articles for deletion/Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and address the concerns that have been raised there. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:53, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Potential copyright infringement in Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS
I noticed that some of the text you added to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS appears to have been copied and pasted directly from the organization's website. For example, the distinctive phrase ""With a strong fall wind blowing through the theatre district, this year's Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction flourished on a mix of spirited shopping and competitive bidding" appears only in Wikipedia and broadwaycares.org. When adding material to Wikipedia you must not copy text from primary sources. Instead, you should research the topic in reliable, secondary sources and then write new content in your own words. Copying or close paraphrasing is not permitted and may expose Wikipedia to legal liability for copyright infringement. Pburka (talk) 22:55, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
