This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of InterNACHI, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.nachi.org/about.htm. 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) 17:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

nachi.org external links
[edit]
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Han-Kwang (t) 21:22, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[1]
Valerie, if you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.

Links
[edit]I don't think that adding external links to NON-PROFIT associations that include relevant information is spam, advertising, etc. I'm sorry if you disagree, but isn't that the POINT of external links? To get more information about a topic? Valerielgreen (talk) 21:40, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- The fact that it's a non-profit organization is completely irrelevant. Wikipedia has rules about external links. It is NOT a web directory. You may want to familiarize yourself with these rules. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
