[edit] National Association of Scholars

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of National Association of Scholars, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.nas.org/nas.html. 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.

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, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Please note that just citing where the information came from is not enough to satisfy copyright law, if the text was copied directly from a copyrighted web site. The National Association of Scholars ought to have an article on Wikipedia (in my opinion) but it has to be written in our editors' own words, not taken from a copyrighted web site. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NAS page

Is there a way to retrieve the information from the NAS page and still use it without starting over from scratch? Can NAS donate material to Wikipedia to avoid copyright infringement?

That content is so blatantly partisan that I'd advise you to discard it and start over in your own words (properly sourced, of course). The present version is an advertisement for the NAS. A case can be made for the notability of the group, whatever we may think of them; but the present version is just an ad. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I've made some changes to the page - is it ok now, or does it still read like an advertisement? If it does, which parts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adebter (talk • contribs)
Still does. The unquestioning quotes of their alleged ideals, etc. -- that's all advertisement. What actual ideological stances have they taken? What has been their role in the Culture Wars within U.S. academia? Where are the cites to books, magazines and newspapers that have been written about them? How do their critics describe them? This uncritical entry would never pass in a peer-reviewed journal. (And what on Earth is the justification for that painting at the top? Do they advocate hemlock for scholars who subvert the dominant paradigm?) --Orange Mike | Talk 17:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contributing copyrighted content to Wikipedia

Regarding your question on my talk page about the National Association of Scholars, if you are a copyright holder who wants to give Wikipedia a license to use copyrighted material, please see the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Thanks for your interest. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I did look at those instructions but was still unclear as to what to do. I decided not to donate material, and instead to write an orininal article. --Adebter (talk) 14:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Could you please put some effort into improving the citations presently in the article? As an example: compare the citation you gave for the NAS' denial of the "conservative" label, to the one I just crafted. The first cite was certainly better than nothing, and I commend you for it; but the second is much more useful, in my arrogant opinion. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

A raw link to a Googlebooks result is not suitable as a footnote in a scholarly publication; neither should it be considered satisfactory here. Use APA, Turabian, or whatever; but cite the source, not just a URL. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your humble advice, Orangemike. I trust that the changes I've made and their corresponding citations are sufficient. --Adebter (talk) 14:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
