Houthoff Buruma The Game
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Houthoff Buruma The Game, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://wikibin.org/articles/houthoff-buruma-the-game.html. 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. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

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) 08:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I'll check it in a few days and upload it to the main Wikipedia project in case what you do meets our standards. Keep writing back for any help.

The issues
Hi A.Groot,

The issues I see with your article are straightforward. You somehow don't seem to be using your own original words, but are copying stuff from places like wikia etc. You do need to realise that Wikipedia has extremely strict policies against posting copyrighted material. Administrators are not going to check whether the stuff you've copied is free from copyright on the other sites it is loaded on. They're simply going to delete any and every article that seems to be a copy-paste affair. But this is in reality the easiest issue to resolve. Why don't you this try and rewrite the article in your own words. If you can't do it, text me on my talk page and I'll do a lot of the editing for you - provided I'm convinced about the reliable sources and notability of the article (I'm still borderline, but it's easy to push me to your side). I'm an autoreviewer, so in case I approve the article, it would not come in the listing of pages that need to be patrolled - so that is half the battle won. But you still have to win the other half, which is my approval, and that can come only if you resolve the issues I've written. Cheers.  ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  11:41, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Houthoff Buruma. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 15:59, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
