Wrongful Convicted In Maryland
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Wrongful Convicted In Maryland, may be copied from http://www.exonerated.org/content/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=200. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:59, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Copyrights
Since the source indicates "Copyright 2009", the material can't be re-used in its present form. It may be rewritten, using the material as a source, or better yet rewritten using journalistic sources such as the Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, or other similar publications. Please note that the article title was not an appropriate, neutral title. The subject's name (i.e., you) is the appropriate article title, not one that seeks to make a statement about the subject. Please note also that autobiographies are strongly discouraged, as it's very hard to write neutrally about one's self. I believe there's a good case for notability here, and that an article ios appropriate, it just can't be a cut-and-paste from a copyrighted source. Acroterion   (talk)   23:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
