Hello, and welcome. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to visit me at my talk page. Thank you. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:28, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Meamar, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.abragallery.com/Artists_Page/Meamar.htm.
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) 17:36, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, several problems.
Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:33, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Meamar is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Meamar until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Basalisk inspect damage⁄ berate 23:12, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello Padizar,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, Meamorphism, may be copied from http://www.meamorphism.com/Page_2.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.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Meamorphism, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. GILO A& E⇑ 01:30, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
To solve the copyright issue, you would perform a formal release by following the steps at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. However, onsidering how stringent your organization appears about copyright, I doubt you would want to do that, as making the content compatible with Wikipedia requires releasing it under free licenses. See the small text below the edit box:
By clicking the "Save Page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL.
Essentially, these licenses state that any third party is free to reuse the content without aking permission, so long as they provide credit to the original authors and redistribute any derivative works under the same licenses. Of course, this flies in the face of the copyright notice currently on the Meamorphism page, so I'd recommend letting the deletion process take its course, and then recreating the article in original words. (Be aware, however, that article subjects are expected to meet this "notability" guideline, or else they will probably be nominated for deletion by another process.)
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on my talk page.
