This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Cerberus Spelaeological Society, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.cerberusspeleo.org.uk/org.htm. 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.

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) 01:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Cerberus Spelaeological Society
Hi there.

We took note of your assertion of ownership of the copyrighted material posted at the above article. Unfortunately, since we do not verify user identities upon account creation, we need to resort to an external process to validate your claims. This process is detailed at WP:DCM. In the meantime, we act on the precautionary principle on copyright matters and cannot leave copyrighted material on display without permission. The article has therefore been replaced by a standard boilerplate message, which should not be removed until we can verify copyright claims.

Alternatively, you may also elect to rewrite the article without copyrighted content, and the boilerplate message currently provides a link to a temporary subpage to let you do just that.

That being said, beyond the copyright issue, the article currently fails our inclusion guidelines on several other levels, most importantly that it be written in a neutral tone and its contents verifiable through several independent third party reliable coverage. Barring that, the article might clear copyright management only to find itself challenged for deletion on these grounds.

If you need any help, you can create a new section on your talk page and add helpme followed by your request below it, someone will be along shortly to assist you. Alternatively, you may also leave me a message on my talk page. Best regards, MLauba (talk) 14:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern
Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:31, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
