New York Society of Model Engineers
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of New York Society of Model Engineers, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.modelengineers.org. 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.

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) 19:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of New York Society of Model Engineers
A tag has been placed on New York Society of Model Engineers 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 blatant 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I am a member of the New York Society of Model Engineers trying to create a wiki for our organization.

Copyright violations at New York Society of Model Engineers
Responding to your message on my talk page :

I'm sorry, but I had no choice but to delete all the text taken (with only very minor changes) from the modelengineers.org site. Wikipeda does not have permission to publish copyrighted material except in a few well-defined and limited fair use cases, and this wasn't one of them. Wikipedia is intended to be a free-content encyclopedia, and copyright and copyright violations are taken very seriously. Please take a look at the Wikipeda:Copyright and Copyright violations pages. Unless the society is willing to relicense their website under the CC-BY-SA Creative Commons license, we can't have any of the text here. Furthermore, even if there is to be an article about the Society, it likely isn't going to be as detailed as the web site -- Wikipedia isn't intended to be a copy of the website nor is it a promotional tool. Without a lot of secondary references and reliable sources, it's unlikely to be much bigger that the minimal version it's at now. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 22:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

response to take down
why do then allow this clubs' promotional wiki? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Valley_O-scale


 * Thanks for alerting me. When I get a chance I'll trim that back some.  Are there any parts in there copied from your website?  Can you tell me which ones? -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 17:10, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
