This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Cleveland Street Workhouse, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Strand.

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.)

  • Hi. Please see the above message left by the bot. You can use that site as a source of information, but not of words. If it's your site, you'd have to release the content under this site's license. I never recommend that since it basically places your property in the public domain. You're better off writing an article from scratch and to use that other site as an information source. Hoping this helps; copyright issues tend to be taken seriously around here. Thanks for wanting to contribute and please don't hesitate to ask for help. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:57, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Why Was My Article Deleted?

edit

That's the question you are probably asking yourself right now. Well, there are a couple reasons your article could have been deleted.

  1. It may not have met the General notability guideline. This is the guideline that all articles must meet before they can be included on Wikipedia.
  2. It may not have been notable. If a subject isn't notable, it isn't included. Your little brother's garage rock band with 5 fans isn't notable, but Metallica...that's notable.
  3. It may not have been verifiable. If an article doesn't have several third-party reliable sources, it can be deleted as original research.
  4. It may have been advertising. Any page about a company of any sort must meet strict guidelines so it isn't considered advertisting. A page about the local quickie-mart is probably advertising and also probably not notable.
  • Please note that creating pages for "school projects" is frowned upon by the adminship and should not be done. Creating a page for a project is cause for deletion of the page and potentally a block of your account. Please avoid this at all costs.

To create an article, first, please read WP:FIRST. This page is about creating your first article. Then get all the information you can on the subject. Create the article first in userspace (on a subpage of your userpage) so it won't get deleted before you are finished. Add all the information, references, reliable sources and more to the page. Make sure it meets the General notability guideline. If you aren't sure, ask an admin, they will be glad to help. Then move it to where you want it in mainspace (on the Wikipedia). From there, keep it updated with pertinent updated information, so the article doesn't become stale. When in doubt with anything, ask the Help desk or an admin. Hope this helps...NeutralhomerTalk20:07, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
