Zinnia elegans

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Zinnia elegans, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.floridata.com/ref/Z/zinn_ele.cfm.

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.)

Bot is confused - it was not copied - but Floridata was a source. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 13:07, 14 March 2011 (UTC)--Michael Goodyear (talk) 13:07, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bedford v. Canada

I want to let you know that I've created a new article for Bedford v. Canada. I've incorporated most of your text from Prostitution in Canada (Constitutional and case law) into this new article specifically about the Bedford case. I didn't realize that your content existed when I started the article; I wasn't able to find it when searching for the names of any of the applicants. Pburka (talk) 19:53, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could do with your expertise

I think this article could do with your well written expertise Prostitution in Kenya. Its just a mess. Dwanyewest (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Petra Östergren

The article Petra Östergren has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
