Hi, RE: Submission of Article: Sant Baba Amar Singh ji Thank you for your reply regarding the above matter. I am emailing to make a humble request for the approval of the above submission.

I am the Group IT administrator and copyright holder of this content. Information provided in this submission is with reference to our Chairman and Founder and activities of the Group.

 * Hello Kamalpreet,


 * I declined the article as a copyright violation since the text of the article was directly copied from another source (http://nirmalsewa.com/about-us.html in this case). Under US law copyright is automatically granted on all written texts, and is therefor present unless the writer specifically waives these rights. Copyright restricts what one can do with a text - for example, it may not be freely altered or reproduced, which is necessarily for Wikipedia. Due to this Wikipedia only accepts texts that are either licensed under GDFL or CC-BY-SA (or a more lenient license)


 * Having said that i would equally point out that it is rarely a good idea to copy content directly, even if the license allows it. An encyclopedic text requires another structure and writing style then most other texts, and thus it is rare for these texts to be accepted as an article. I would recommend looking in the good article category for an article with a similar subject as your own, and using that as a basis for your own article. However, before spending time it is best to read WP:N, WP:V and WP:RS, and checking if your article can meet these policies requirements. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs )
