Kandahar Ski Club

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kandahar Ski Club, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.kandahar.org.uk/.

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.) VWBot (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button   or   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

If you have been using the 4 tildes, it looks as if you've got something wrong with the signature settings in your preferences, because for some reason it's not including a link to your user page or user talk page. - David Biddulph (talk) 22:13, 6 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

If you have completely rewritten the page from scratch in your own words then you can repost it. There isn't generally any restriction on recreating deleted pages provided you address the reason for deletion. (If you don't then the page will just get deleted again for the same reason.)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kandahar Ski Club, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FIS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
