Drew Bio
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Drew Bio, may be copied from http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/drew/maloney. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 19:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Drew Bio


A tag has been placed on Drew Bio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

Drew Bio
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Drew Bio, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.linkedin.com/pub/drew-maloney/4/203/244.

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.) MadmanBot (talk) 20:02, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Copyright violations
We now had to delete the same copyright violation twice within less than an hour. If you persist in adding copyrighted, non-free content to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Also, your draft was unduly promotional (unsurprising for his own LinkedIn profile) and cited no reliable sources. Those are another two reasons for deletion. You should have a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest; writing about your boss is not a good idea. Huon (talk) 20:17, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
