Forest History Society
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Forest History Society, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.foresthistory.org. 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) 16:03, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Forest History Society
A tag has been placed on Forest History Society 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 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.

Rewrites
The recent rewrites you have made to Forest History Society clear up the copyright problems (just barely -- other editors might think that the two texts are still too similar). However, your article is still pretty much a blatant advertisement for your organization. That, coupled with the fact that your user name is liked to the organization (which violates user name policies, means that your article is likely to be deleted. I would like to take the opportunity to invite you to rewrite the article as less advertising-like.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
