Marty Dowds
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Marty Dowds, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.dowdsirishdance.com/sample-page.

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) 04:27, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Dowds Irish Dance Academy
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Dowds Irish Dance Academy, may be copied from http://www.dowdsirishdance.com/. 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) 07:00, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dowds Irish Dance Academy


A tag has been placed on Dowds Irish Dance Academy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.dowdsirishdance.com/. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:37, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Your contributions
Good day,

I've noticed your recent edits, and believe you may be running against Wikipedia's notoriously steep learning curve. I've taken the liberty of collapsing most of the boilerplate warnings above - while they contain useful information, they may also be a bit overwhelming.

You may be wondering what has been happening to your contributions, let me give you a short explanation.
 * Regarding the Marty Dowd page, it has been deleted as the content was copied verbatim from a different website. Wikipedia takes copyright issues seriously and cannot accept content authored by third parties without clear evidence that those third parties have consented to it.
 * Further, that page in particular was written with a promotional tone that is not suitable for an encyclopedia, and the content could not be verified through substantial independent third party coverage (the term we use here is reliable sources, or RS). Such sources are a pre-condition for any article on Wikipedia, but this is even more stringent when we are talking about biographies of living persons.
 * The Dowds Irish Dance Academy faces similar issues. However, contrary to Marty's article, a cursory google search turned out at least some independent reliable sources that could be used to support the article, which is why merely removed the content copied from the article's history.

Last but not least, learning to edit Wikipedia on articles themselves may be tricky - articles are watched closely and attempts at content may not be given much benefit of the doubt. You can however experiment and prepare future articles in your sandbox - a link to do so should appear at the top right corner of this page.

The welcome message left by Mishae here contains a lot of useful information for next steps. In the meantime, you can also seek for assistance by placing   on this page, and someone will be along to assist you shortly.
