Hi. When you recently edited Lee Watson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dumont (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of South Bend Civic Theatre, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.sbct.org/about.php.

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.) VWBot (talk) 01:55, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you should not remove the copy violation notice especially if the issues have not been addressed. Persistent template removal will result with a block, please note that Wikipedia can't accept copy and pasted material. Users must write the article themselves, not copy and pasting from a website. I have now changed the article but I wanted to notify you about removing notices. SwisterTwister talk 02:36, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the problem is this: Articles need sources. The article begins. The bot comes along and recognizes the sources before the article even begins to take shape. It is a very devisive cycle. I don't use the sandbox. Maybe I should. It is not copyright infringement if it is cited. Donalds (talk) 15:49, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Donalds...It is still a copyvio even cited if it is a near word for word copy. That is what the bot spotted. I do disagree with SwisterTwister tho...by the time you pulled the tag, you had cleared the copyvio (Qualifying that...you still had a word for word copy of the first line, except you added "in Northern Indiana". Still close, but I wouldn't think for one line, it should matter too much, IMHO.) Anyway we are moving on from that and the article is shaping up nicely. I am a former Niles resident and you may recognize my name and its SB connection. Thanks for your good work on articles pertaining to Indiana. I for one appreciate it. BTW, I would thoroughly suggest starting articles in your sandbox. Regards, Gtwfan52 (talk) 00:21, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Donalds! I just visited the AfD for Kevin Dreyer. I will be supporting the article, but I wanted you to realize a fallacy in your argument. There is absolutely nothing that the subject of any article can do on their own to establish notability. Notability is established by respected sources noticing what the subject of an article has done. It is a difficult concept and one unique to Wikipedia. I think your NY Times review should satisfy the requirement and that is the argument I will make at AfD. You should, however continue to look for other newspaper articles (maybe the Notre Dame campus paper?) and add as many good independent references as you can. Good luck and happy editing.
