This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... this page explains the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program, which is a Government Program to advance IT R&D in the United States. This article is not promoting a product or advertising goods, it is simply providing information about a Government Program in hopes that it will provide researchers and scientists, and the general public better information about the IT R&D activities within Government Agencies--Nitrd (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's written like something you'd find on the home page of the organization's own website. That's a no-no in Wikipedia, even for non-profit charities and government organizations. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copy/Paste of Existing Document

The bulk of this article (Sections 1-6) has been duplicated—word-for-word—from pages 1-11 of http://www.nitrd.gov/PUBS/2013supplement/FY13NITRDSupplement.pdf (The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program - Supplement to the President’s Budget FY 2013).

I understand this isn't a copyright violation as it's US government material, but does WP really need to mirror this doc? Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 02:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
