Raquel Bitton[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Raquel Bitton, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.raquelbitton.com/raquelbittonbiography.asp.

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.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Raquel Bitton[edit]

A tag has been placed on Raquel Bitton requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:39, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

September 2010[edit]

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:28, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For legal reasons Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material, even in user pages, unless a copyright release has been made as explained above. Just asserting permission to reproduce is not enough; release to Wikipedia involves more than just permission to reprint; as it says under every edit screen: "you irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL" and it is essential that the copyright owner understands and agrees to that. Minor changes of wording are also not sufficient - see Wikipedia:Copy-paste.

Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be quite unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a notice-board onto which to pin material written for other purposes, particularly promotional material. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people) and for musical performers WP:MUSICBIO, and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.

October 2010[edit]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to User:Lesparrow, you may be blocked from editing. Kimchi.sg (talk) 04:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
