Parental child abduction

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Parental child abduction, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.pressbox.co.uk/detailed/Legal/Child_Abduction_in_Divorce_Issues_201101.html.

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.)

I see you moved much of this text from Child abduction where the problem may lie.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:11, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yep, I cut and pasted a lot of text from that page - I have no idea about its origins or issues. Trantsbugle (talk) 13:16, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Okay, well the press release may be a mirror, it was published in January 2011 (according to the URL) and the article had that text in it already. The others don't appear to be so. Did you copy and paste all of it from the original article? I will try to work on some more it tonight but I am about to call it a night.--NortyNort (Holla) 13:23, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yep, it is all a growth from the original child abduction page. Trantsbugle (talk) 13:28, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia

edit

Hi. :) I closing out the listing for the article above. I have not yet determined if they copied from the other Wikipedia article, though it seems likely. But since that doesn't involve you, I did want to just take a moment to explain that you are free to copy content from one article to another, but that since our content is not public domain there are steps you have to follow to meet the license for that use. They aren't really difficult. Basically, you just have to give proper credit. :) On Wikipedia, this is given by putting a direct link in the edit summary of the article where you are placing the text. When you're copying a lot of text, we also recommend making a note of what you're doing at the source article and at the talk pages of both. We have a guideline to help you do all that at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

If I find that the duplicated content was originally ours, I'll take care of attribution here. But if you've copied content from one page on Wikipedia to another before (even if it was a long time ago), please be sure to provide proper attribution. If you need help figuring out how, you're welcome to come by my talk page. Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:50, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
