John M Hull
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of John M Hull, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.johnmhull.biz/about_jmh.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.

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) 11:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of John M Hull
A tag has been placed on John M Hull 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. 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  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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Rtphokie (talk) 12:37, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Licensing
The licensing for content hosted on Wikipedia is very strict. John Hull most definitely owns the copyright for the material hosted on his personal website. You can read about the licensing terms here:Copyrights. Beyond this, if John Hull wants to license his copyrighted material in a way compatible with Wikipedia's copyright, he needs to do one of two things: either get him to send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating that he's licensing the material under the terms of the GNU Free Document License, or releasing all rights to the material so it enters the public domain, or post a licensing notice on the website to one of those effects. Without a clear license from the copyright holder, Wikipedia will not host any content. Cheers, Wily D 12:46, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
