UCAR Point of Presence edit

I tagged UCAR Point of Presence for speedy deletion. It appears to have been copied and pasted from a website (see the description at the article). Please don't copy and paste from websites, as this is a copyright violation. For legal reasons, Wikipedia does not allow copyrighted material to be posted.

Re: Deleted Page edit

First, you'll want to take a look at WP:N, to make sure that these entities are notable enough to be here. I don't remember UCAR POP completely, but I believe it did satisfy this requirement. I tagged this for deletion because it turned out to be a copy+paste of another website. There are two things you can do here:

  1. If you do own the page you are copying and pasting, put a clear message at the bottom of it that you release it into the public domain, via the GNU Free Documentation License (also known as the GFDL)
  2. If you don't own the page, or want to retain its copyrighted status, you can try to write a page here from the ground up, that isn't a copy+paste of the original. If you do this, be sure to cite the original as the source of your information.

Hope this helps. I seem to recall it was a decent topic for a page, but there's always a concern with copyrights, so that's why I tagged it to delete. Good luck with the next version. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 05:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

UCAR Point of Presence edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of UCAR Point of Presence, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/nets/upop/intro.html. 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) 16:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
