If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 19:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Prayer Book Society, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.pbs.org.uk. 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) 22:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The Prayer Book Society
[edit]
A tag has been placed on The Prayer Book Society 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 clear 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.

Copyright deletions
[edit]The article was a word for word copy of the website, and there isn't any mention on the website that the text or any material has been released to the public domain or is available freely to copy by way of sharealike licenses. You may be the author/webmaster of the site, but there's no way for Wikipedia to know that. So, if you'd like for the text to be used here, you'll need to make sure that your site has a sharealike license attribution note or send in a permission. This link can help you in going about this process.
However, I should also add that copyright of the content is not the only issue here. We have notability requirements, and in short, content in our article should be sourced to independent third party sources. In short, Wikipedia articles are about subjects that have been written about by others. So, even if the copyright problem is addressed, you'll have to show that the organization meets the notability requirements specified at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). You can find out how to write an article at the article wizard. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 22:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
