This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bedok North Secondary School, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.bedoknorthsec.moe.edu.sg/info.htm. 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. See our copyright policy for further details.

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) 06:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
