This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Tsolomitis, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://users.hol.gr/~tkoutso/Kosmas/English/associations.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) 06:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, James. there is so much wrong with your article. First, the copyright issue. If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article's talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article talk page.
 * Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at the article talk page with a link to the web page details.
 * Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement.

The text would be unacceptable even if not copyright
 * The article did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * Encyclopaedia articles must be neutral and verifiable. Your page was full of unsourced spammy claims like the following, just from one paragraph
 * Since 1936, the Association has developed very intensive patriotic, social, financial, educational and generally cultural activities. The main goals always are financial assistance and help, support for the Kosmas's community, uniting all "Kosmites" living in Attiki, bridging the gap with the people abroad (USA, AUSTRALIA, ARGENTINA), strengthen the patriotic ties and Kosmas's rational development. The Association became well known, particularly for bringing together all the people from Attiki region and also for the continuing conduct with Kosmas, their small homeland. All those claims need sourcing to reliable independent sources, otherwise it's unacceptably pov

Hope this helps jimfbleak (talk) 06:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
