Copyright problems with Maurice Boland
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Maurice Boland, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, Maurice Boland appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Maurice Boland has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at and send an email with the message to . See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

 * Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view - Wikipedia is not for any kind of promotion. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.
 * Writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Autobiography and WP:Conflict of interest, and WP:PROUD explains why people who have done so have sometimes regretted it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
