Thank you.

A tag has been placed on The MasterCard Foundation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 15:13, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello KKyselytzia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • 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.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Syrthiss (talk) 16:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Using promotional wording in the article

I've removed the section on microfinance again. As you can see below, anything not found in the article microfinance is promotional:

Microfinance offers a powerful way to transform the lives of those in the developing world by enabling them to participate in the global economy. The MasterCard Foundation works with partners to expand access and increase the reach of microfinance to improve quality of life for people of all ages.

The program focuses on three areas:
  • Expand access to microfinance in Sub-Saharan Africa
  • Strengthen the microfinance sector
  • Enable youth to access microfinance[1]
Some of their partners include ACCION International, the Aga Khan Foundation, BRAC, CARE Canada, Catholic Relief Services, Freedom from Hunger, Grameen Foundation, Fonkoze, Microfinance Information Exchange Inc., Microfinance Opportunities, Microfinance Transparency, Opportunity International, Plan Canada, Save the Children, The SEEP Network, Water.org, Women’s World Banking, UNCDF, Equity Group Foundation, Mennonite Economic Development Association (MEDA), Participatory Microfinance Group for Africa (PAMIGA), and The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program.[2]

Specifically:

  • offers a powerful way to transform is promotional.
  • to improve quality of life for people of all ages is promotional.
  • The program focuses on three areas ...as do in fact all microfinance programs, so that's redundant, therefore not needed here.
  • We don't need a list, or even a sample, of the partners involved.

If you have a background in marketing, please shed it before editing this article, or refrain from editing altogether. Thank you. -- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 16:33, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
