Society for Editors and Proofreaders

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Society for Editors and Proofreaders, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.sfep.org.uk. 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) 13:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Society for Editors and Proofreaders

A tag has been placed on Society for Editors and Proofreaders requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Reversion

... because it's still copyright violation. You can't say they allow it and then you can copy paste text here verbatim. Dekisugi (talk) 14:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Did you read the warning above? Say it with your own words, not copy paste. Wikipedia is not a mirror or a fork site. I'll give you some clues below. Dekisugi (talk) 18:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Creating a new page

Well, one of the two notices you got above was sent by a bot, which is an automated process from Wiki server to check copyright materials being copy pasted from somewhere else. That's why it was quick. Basically, you can quote something in verbatim if you follow the guideline here: WP:QUOTE. And that's okay. However, it is usually a better practice to write something in your words with a good backup of sources. Remember that we're here to write an encyclopaedia which is a tertiary source of some knowledge that we know about from somewhere else. Now, there are a lot of guidelines and policies for you to know, but you'll learn it while you're writing. So, happy editing! I hope you enjoy writing in Wikipedia.
