The Wikipedia Library Survey

[edit]

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Georges Aber, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://encyclo.voila.fr/wiki/Georges_Aber.

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.)

I removed this message from Georges Aber, because http://encyclo.voila.fr/wiki/Georges_Aber is a mirror of the French wikipedia article fr:Georges Aber, from which Georges Aber was translated. Spacepotato (talk) 03:56, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
