This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Giffnock Curling Club, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.giffnockcurling.org/history.htm. 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) 15:02, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

The text in this article is submitted by the copyright holders, Giffnock Curling Club, via their webmaster Stephen Malloy (aka Mearnsman) and thus copyright is not breached.Mearnsman (talk) 15:09, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
- Although this statement is not sufficient evidence, there's very little point in having Mr. Malloy email permission to use the text to Wikimedia. The text is not in the form of a neutral encyclopedia article, and it lacks reliable, independent sources verifying the information it contains. If you think that an article on this subject would meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, you should use independent sources to compose a new one that better suits the needs of an encyclopedia, rather than copying one that suits the needs of the organization's own web site. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:09, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
