This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jerry Galloway, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.jerrygalloway.com/tech/bio.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

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.

It seems you have indicated that the individual, Dr. Jerry Galloway, is not notable as the reason for deletion. This is an error. Dr. Galloway is well-known in the United States and beyond. His work has touched many people in many venues and this purely factual article should be made available to the general public. SherriSharp (talk) 07:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:CP#Copyright_owners_who_submitted_their_own_work_to_Wikipedia. It doesn't matter if someone who owns the rights releases it to Wikipedia, unless we have proof that they have done so. Woogee (talk) 08:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
