Oregon Medical Board[edit]

Hi Carol, thanks for your message. To recreate you need only submit a new article for creation, or simply post at Oregon Medical Board. It's up to you, but if you want me to have a look first, you could post here and let me know when you are ready. Bear in mind that you should

provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
it must be written in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
It must be in your own words. As you have discovered, copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. Please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Let me know if I can help Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:42, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've tidied it up a bit

You don't say where the Board is based in the state, what its legal authority is or how it's appointed. All you have said is what it does.
I've taken out the mission statement. Its not forbidden, but looks spammy when we are told little else about the article's subject
"Official site" is usually an external link. The other three I've left in References because I'm unsure whether they are external links or references, you may need to sort them. Inline references make it easier to see what fact each ref is supporting

I've fixed the refs, I'd be inclined now to put it into article space and see what happens. You should see a "move" tab somewhere (don't cut-and-paste) Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:20, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
