This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lexus LC, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://lexusenthusiast.com/2010/10/11/lexus-lc-600h-to-replace-sc.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) VWBot (talk) 10:04, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Lexus LC, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

Rewriting from scratch[edit]
Hi. I'm afraid the article above has had to be deleted. As the template that you twice removed from the article advised, it needed to be rewritten from scratch. What you did in modifying the content already published was create a derivative work. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. If you wish to create an article on this vehicle, please be sure that it is written entirely in your own words, except if you incorporate brief clearly marked quotations. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism". See also Wikipedia:Copy-paste. Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
