This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dennis K. Berman, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.schulich.yorku.ca/SSB-Extra/connect2007.nsf/db2703cf4bd7f64d85256fb1005b2de4/9dbb7dd566c29e51852573600057df08?OpenDocument. 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) 01:30, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dennis K. Berman
A tag has been placed on Dennis K. Berman 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 clear 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.

Friendly note
Welcome to Wikipedia! If you want some time to write an original article, you can get it by adding to the article, then explaining that it's still in progress on the talk page. However, you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines strongly discourage all of us from writing about ourselves. Wikipedia can always use volunteers, especially volunteers like yourself, who are already good writers- our rules are a bit different than those of a newspaper, but I'm sure you'll have no trouble picking them up- so I hope you're planning to stick around as a volunteer.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Dennis K. Berman. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:38, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
