This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Irwin Redlener, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.childrenshealthfund.org/whoweare/bio_iredlener.php. 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) 19:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Copyright concerns
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. With respect to your note about the above (now blanked) at the article's talk, I just wanted to stop by and let you know how to verify this authorization of permission. Since Wikipedia does not have a procedure for verifying identity at account creation, we must have external verification of all permission to use previously published material. For the protection of the encyclopedia and copyright holders, we blank the articles pending verification of release.

There are basically two ways to go about it. The easiest is to place a notice at the external site indicating that you are releasing the material into public domain or under the license of GFDL. If you are willing to do this, then you can make a note indicating that you have done so and providing a direct link to the release at the article's talk page, which will allow us to publish the contents. (Please note that the release must be sufficiently broad. Wikipedia's contents must be free for modification and reuse, commercially or otherwise, and the release must be irrevocable. The only right that our contributors retain is the right to attribution.) If you do not wish to post a release at the website, you do have the option of verifying your permission via e-mail. The procedure for that is set out at Donating copyrighted materials. This process is a little slower, as it may take about a week for the permission letter to be cleared and logged.

If you have any questions regarding the verification procedure or if I can assist you with it in any way, please let me know at my talk page. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Your note
Thank you for your note. :) I've replied there, but to save you the time of popping over will just duplicate it here. I'm glad if I was able to help. And I must say that it's very impressive how quickly you've picked up on the wiki environment. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
