Oh, You Beautiful Doll
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Oh, You Beautiful Doll, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.geocities.com/MadisonAvenue/1147/y/o768.html. 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) 23:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Public domain, cannot be copyrighted. SpaceFace32 (talk) 23:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You are quite correct; good to see you understand the distinction. Here at Wikipedia we need to keep an eye out for new users who add copyrighted text or lyrics to copyrighted songs to articles, but indeed there's no problem with quotes of notable public domain text. I'm glad to see another user helping improve our coverage of that great old music of a century ago. On a somewhat related topic: are you familiar with Wikipedia's sister project for images and media Wikimedia Commons?  Free licensed or public domain material can be uploaded there, then used in Wikipedia articles exactly as if you'd uploaded it directly here-- but Commmons also has additional advantages in that the image there can be put in categories (for example sheet music published in a particular year, as you may have seen linked at the bottom of some year in music articles), galleries, and be used in articles in the Wikipedias in other languages and other Wikimedia projects. So in short I suggest you check out Commmons, sign up there as well, and when uploading free material like public domain sheet music covers upload directly there.  I'm an admin both here on English Wikipedia and on Commons, so if I can be of help, do ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 12:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
