Nice page :-)
Hello CT Microbiol,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, Heather Cubie, may be copied from http://www.research.ed.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/heather-cubie(651db2eb-a499-404a-b001-d4e83f7aa50c).html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 17:50, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- I just reviewed Heather Cubie and I am sorry to report that it is still just a lightly edited version of this site. It is not a best practice to start with a bio from another source and edit it until it is no longer the same article, but if done,t hat process should take place offline, as our practice is to remove material we feel might be infringing on copyrighted material, even in the history. However, as the most recent version is still too close to the original, and no activity has occurred over the past ten days, I am deleting the article.
- Feel free to start over, but please work with multiples sources, and ensure that the first draft in article space is not too close to any material subject to copyright.--S Philbrick(Talk) 22:28, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
