Cottonwood Ranch State Historic Site
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Cottonwood Ranch State Historic Site, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.kshs.org/places/cottonwood/history.htm. 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) 19:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A follow up to the above: you have attempted to rewrite the article, but unfortunately this has resulted in close paraphrasing of the original source. Unfortunately, copyrighted content cannot be accepted in an altered from, or have works derived from it, without permission from the original copyright holder. The article needs to be completely rewritten, using other websites as sources of information, not sentences. I've tagged the article as a copyright problem, and it will be listed for a week, after which time it will be deleted if the problems haven't been addressed.

Wikiproject heads-up
Hi BLAthon. Considering the work you've been doing, you may be interested in the WikiProject on historic sites that was recently launched. That is also a good place to look for help and advice if you need any. I've been tagging the talk pages of the entries you created so that other participants in the project can more easily find your contributions and help edit them. If you like you can do so yourself in future. All you need to do is add this text to the talk page of your entry, exactly is show here:

If you add that string and preview the page you'll see the WikiProject banner now appears on the page. But in the background it also lists that entry in a database for the project, so that other volunteers interested in historic sites can find it.

Thanks for your contributions so far, and keep up the good work. 9Nak (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello BLAthon! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:
