Munir Nayfeh
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Munir Nayfeh, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://imeu.net/news/printer005783.shtml. 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) 19:13, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Najla Said
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Najla Said, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. To Fight a Vandal (talk) 19:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Najla Said
A tag has been placed on Najla Said requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. BigDunc Talk 19:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Hilary Rantisi
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Hilary Rantisi, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://imeu.net/news/printer008389.shtml, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Hilary Rantisi and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Hilary Rantisi with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Hilary Rantisi.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Hilary Rantisi/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Hilary Rantisi saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! – Sadalmelik ☎ 20:11, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * And the same thing also applies to the article Munir Nayfeh, which appears to be copied from . Permission is also needed for that article. – Sadalmelik ☎ 20:11, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern
Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, these article have been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), the articles will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may, and the articles will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that GFDL permits modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained.

If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the talk page of the copyright policy, which is generally monitored by volunteers experienced in processing such matters. Thank you.

March 2009
Thank you for your efforts to revise this text, but I'm afraid that your new version continues to publish material copied verbatim from that source. This is not allowed under Wikipedia's copright policies. If you want some general guidance on revision, you may wish to see Close paraphrasing, which talks about how much revision is necessary to separate a paraphrase from its source. For one example, your revised version contains the sentence, "These nanoparticles are creating the platform for many uses ranging from cancer treatment and diabetes monitoring to increasing the efficiency of light bulbs and solar panels." The source article says, "These nanoparticles are creating the platform for diverse applications ranging from cancer treatment and diabetes monitoring to increasing the efficiency of light bulbs and solar panels." Changing the words "diverse applications" to read "many uses" is insufficient, I'm afraid. This material will need to be rewritten from scratch, completely in your own words, unless we receive permission from that source to use their language. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:13, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Fareed Nabiel Fareed
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Fareed Nabiel Fareed, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://imeu.net/news/article005756.shtml, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Fareed Nabiel Fareed and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

Clarification
In addition to the "form letter", I wanted to explain that omitting some text from the external site is insufficient to clear it for use here. You must rewrite matter entirely in your own language. Your article includes text copied verbatim from that copyrighted source, including sentences like "Working with Physicians for Peace, Dr. Fareed led a course in advanced cardiac life support for Palestinian physicians and nurses from around the West Bank." This is not acceptable under Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please stop creating articles in this fashion. If you have questions about the copyright policy, please seek feedback.

I note that you attempted to address infringement concerns at Hilary Rantisi, but unfortunately your new version is also an infringement. It not only duplicates verbatim the source in sentences like "Upon earning her BA from Aurora University and Masters from the University of Chicago, Rantisi went to work for the Palestinian Christian Theology organization Sabeel from 1997 until 2001" but also too closely paraphrases, as with "She is also a recognized speaker on Palestinian issues and is active in promoting Palestinian art and Palestinian culture" which modifies the source by changing the word "frequent" to "recognized." This does not accord with our copyright policy or with US copyright law, which governs Wikipedia. If you have questions about how best to rewrite material, you may find guidance at Close paraphrasing, which also includes many external links that may aid you.

If you are connected ot the source and able to provide permission, please do so. Instructions are linked in the "form letter" above.

Both of these articles have been blanked to allow you time to address these concerns and will be revisited after seven days to see what additional steps may be necessary.

Please feel free to contribute original material to Wikipedia, but please do not continue duplicating external sources on Wikipedia unless you have first verified permission through our processes. Continuing to do so may result in your account being blocked from further contribution.

If you have questions about of this, please feel free to let me know at my talk page.

Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
