Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we CANNOT accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

As a consequence, your article will most likely be deleted; in fact, it may already have been deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text - which means allowing other people to modify it - then you have to prove that it's yours (because people can and do lie) by adding, on the external site, the statement that "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. - Lucky 6.9 15:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Please do not insist on reposting this article. This is greatly frowned upon.  Also, there are fewer than 150 unique Google hits for this individual, calling the subject's notability for inclusion into question.  Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 15:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Because it appeared to have been taken from another source. In fact, the incomplete sentence at the end of the article was a real tip-off. I can't tell you how pleased I am that he saved your mother's life (I sincerely mean that), but we have the dual problems of both a possible copyright violation and a lack of notability. There are only about 150 Google hits for this doctor and while he's well-credentialed and well-connected, he simply doesn't warrant inclusion here. Take a look at What Wikipedia is not to get a clearer understanding about what this site's about. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 15:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Oops...my bad. "NN bio" is shorthand for "non-notable biography." - Lucky 6.9 15:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Tell you what: I'll unlock the title so that you can have another go at it.  If you can establish this doctor's notability, so much the better.  Good luck! - Lucky 6.9 15:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
