Marian Borkowski
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Marian Borkowski, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.marianborkowski.pl/.

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) 22:03, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Marian Borkowski
Hello Lidia Polakowska,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marian Borkowski for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Fox2k11 (talk) 02:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Copyright and notability
Wikipedia cannot hold copyright material, not even in sandboxes or user pages, not even temporarily. Please read Copy-paste.

Please note that assertion of permission to use text is not enough; we have to be certain that the person giving a release has the authority to do so, and that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to Wikipedia's license terms, which allow any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial. For those reasons, a formal copyright release, as described at Donating copyrighted materials, is required.

It is not often worth making a copyright release, because the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a notice-board for pinning up promotional material. It is usuall y better to write an article in your own words.

Also, copying a personal or official website will not be enough to make an acceptable article, because article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:42 and WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 10:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
