Drumsagard Village
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Drumsagard Village, may be copied from http://www.drumsagardvillage.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13:history&Itemid=26. 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) 01:06, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Drumsagard Village
Hello Smallan,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Drumsagard Village 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. {{{sub|C}}  A S U''' K I T E  T} 01:39, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Article recreated
I've recreated it as a 'stub'. Please avoid any copyvio - the language in the article needs to be clearly yours. You might want to join WikiProject Scotland and I've mentioned you on the talk page there. It obviously needs work. You need to read up on articles, eg WP:LAYOUT and on citing at WP:CITE. Sources are covered at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS.

Removed your website from the Resident association articles, see WP:EL (and I guess WP:ISNOT is one way of explaining what Wikipedia is as well as what it isn't. Links there should only be general links, not specific. Dougweller (talk) 12:17, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Smallan, I've added some extra references to the article - hopefully you can use them to expand it a little further. I'm afraid I will have to revert the change you just made (i.e. your link to the website in the opening line). This is actually unnecessary as I have used that website as a reference for some of the history. I hope you enjoy working on the article further!  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  14:03, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
