This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Drupal 6: Ultimate Community Site Guide, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://drupal.org/node/367131. 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) 09:03, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Copyright status at Drupal 6: Ultimate Community Site Guide
editHello,
We took note of your assertion of ownership on the above article's talk page. However, as we do not verify user identities upon account creation, this has to be verified through an external process, which is described at WP:DCM. Until this is done, please note that in accordance with the precautionary principle guiding our copyright policies, the article cannot remain visible on Wikipedia, and has thus been replaced by a standard boilerplate message. This one will be removed as soon as permission has been verified. Further, I must also caution you against writing about yourself or your own works, as this constitutes a clear conflict of interest and makes the establishing of a neutral article difficult. Best regards, MLauba (talk) 09:48, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Update regarding copyright concern
editSince we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.
As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.
Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.
If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the talk page of the copyright policy, which is generally monitored by volunteers experienced in processing such matters. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Drupal 6: Ultimate Community Site Guide
editA tag has been placed on Drupal 6: Ultimate Community Site Guide requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- I removed the request for speedy deletion at Drupal 6: Ultimate Community Site Guide as I see it says "copyleft" at http://book.drupalfun.com/. However, there are still a few issues. One, you should not be creating articles about whose subjects you are personally involved. See WP:COI. Also, I do believe you must undergo the process outlined above about donating text to Wikipedia, although I am not an expert on this subject. You may want to ask about the issue at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems. Jujutacular T · C 08:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- And unfortunately we're now back at the copyright investigation stage. "Copyleft" is too vague to be acceptable as a license. A release under CC-BY-SA or compatible licensing is absolutely required, as a bare minimum. Alternatively, the external route described at WP:DCM remains the other choice to clear this situation. Regards, MLauba (talk) 10:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- I updated the original copyleft notice to be CC-BY-SA here: [1]Dorien.herremans (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Dorien.herremans
- Excellent, thank you. I've removed the boilerplate template and added an attribution notice accordingly. MLauba (talk) 11:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
