This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bernard Bragg, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.bernardbragg.com/biography. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.
This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Bernard Bragg
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Bernard Bragg 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), 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.

Conflict of interest
[edit]
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Bernard Bragg, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 11:31, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
How to very permission for copyrighted material
[edit]Hi. I saw the note that you left Coren at his talk page and just wanted to stop by and explain copyright procedures. Unless the website is marked as free or with a license compatible to Wikipedia's (this one does not, but says "© 2010 BernardBragg.com"), we must verify through external processes when we import text with permission from previously published sources. Those procedures are set out at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permissions. While the Foundation appreciates such donations, it does not guarantee that the material will remain on the project. Donated text is subject to the same community review as any text authored here and may be altered or removed in accordance with policies and guidelines. I see that you have been advised above by admin Orangemike of potential "conflict of interest" issues with this material. The problem with text incorporated wholesale from other sites is that these often are not written with the same policies and guidelines that govern Wikipedia, particularly neutrality and verifiability.
If you have any questions about the permission procedure, please feel free to stop by my talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
