- Welcome!
Hello, Webdzine, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.
Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!
P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Utopia or death, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://archive.org/details/UtopiaOrDeath.
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.) MadmanBot (talk) 23:11, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, thanks for your message. I deleted your article because
- it was a copyright violation of this page, which is marked © 1996-2012, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines for books. There was no indication of sales, awards or similar to show why this book deserves an encyclopaedia entry, just a short unsourced essay.
- It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: True collective history, reality, evolutionary priorities and shaky future... Truths that have been kept from the majority of Humankind across the Globe... Contrary to what we have been led to believe... — I'm giving up here, the whole text is unreferenced personal opinion, not fact.
- For the answers to these questions and more, read this book. — spam
Please don't use Wikipedia as if it were a free advertising platform, and please don't copy text from websites which are not public domain Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:47, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
