This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Willesden Cycling Club, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.willesdencyclingclub.co.uk/history.php. 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.
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) 10:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Copyright problem: Willesden Cycling Club
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Willesden Cycling Club, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.willesdencyclingclub.co.uk/history.php, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Willesden Cycling Club and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Willesden Cycling Club with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Willesden Cycling Club.
It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- Hi. In addition to the above "form letter", I wanted to drop a personal note to say that we need verification of the permission that you assert at the article's talk page. Please either ask the secretary of the website to release the material under GFDL or ask him to send you a permission letter according to the instructions at WP:Permission which you can forward to the Wikimedia foundation. The secretary does need to specify that the material is being released under GFDL, which allows modification as well as commercial and non-commercial ruse, or into public domain. If you have any questions about this, please let me know at my talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

editDear Richcoopa:
Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above, the article has been deleted. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Communications Committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you may certainly do so at any point, and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.
As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that GNU Free documentation license permits modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained.
If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the talk page of the copyright policy, which is generally monitored by volunteers experienced in processing such matters. Thank you.--Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
