Old Priorian Rugby Club
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Old Priorian Rugby Club, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.oldpriorianrfc.co.uk/history/default.aspx. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites 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.)

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:07, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Old Priorian Rugby Club
A tag has been placed on Old Priorian Rugby Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.

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 must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright, notability, conflict of interest - and welcome!
I saw the article you created and just wanted to let you know about a few things:

I've pasted above some links that may help you find your way around; our page on writing your first article should also help if you're new to article creation. Or there's also the new contributors' help page where you can ask about anything else. All the best, Gonzonoir (talk) 10:32, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly, Wikipedia can't accept material copied verbatim from copyright sources, even if it's attributed - take a look at our copyright policy. If you own the source material, this page gives details of how you can donate material, but NB that licensing material for inclusion in Wikipedia requires a very broad license that also allows others to reproduce, modify, and sell it (with attribution).
 * I'd also suggest that the best way to improve an article is to find substantial coverage in reliable sources, and cite that to build up a thorough article: that's required to demonstrate that a subject is sufficiently notable to appear in the encyclopedia. At the moment the article doesn't include those citations, and is at risk of being deleted on these grounds too.
 * Lastly I wanted to draw your attention to our conflict of interest policy: in a nutshell, if you have a close connection to a subject, you should generally avoid creating articles about it.


 * Further to this, I should clarify that you can't host copyrighted material anywhere on Wikipedia, including on your user page. The material that you pasted to User:Oldpriorian is also from http://www.oldpriorianrfc.co.uk/history/default.aspx, so I have blanked it. If you want clarification about Wikipedia's copyright policy, feel free to ask me here or on my user talk page. Gonzonoir (talk) 14:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
