The Threat Down[edit]

I have flagged The Threat Down for speedy deletion because all the content was copied from the main article at here. If you have questions just ask. Please don't take it personally :) --Bookgrrl 04:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Front entrance.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Front entrance.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not watching your page, so drop a line on my page if you want to talk. tedder (talk) 03:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Western Political Science Association[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Western Political Science Association, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.csus.edu/org/wpsa.

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.)
