Brainline.org
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Brainline.org, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.brainline.org/function_pages/about.html.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:21, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. Syrthiss (talk) 14:26, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Brainline.org External Link
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  MrOllie (talk) 16:31, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 16:41, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll add the website to the talk page as a suggestion. However, because the site has won many awards and is supported by national associations how does it not qualify as a proper link(specifically #3)? Thanks for your help! Jpd8j (talk) 16:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That really doesn't get us past WP:ELNO point 4 and the fact that you are a single purpose account promoting this website, as has been done by IPs associated with this site for years. You should also note that removing evidence of this will not work, we can look at the page histories and see what has been done. - MrOllie (talk) 17:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your information. Could you please explain to me how a charity like Headway can be added as an external link but an informational website can not? Jpd8j (talk) 17:46, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
