Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://mlk-kpp01.stanford.edu/index.php/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/enc_stride_toward_freedom_the_montgomery_story_1958.

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.)

Why the article was deleted

In Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, I see you have taken care to modify the wording relative to [1] but in my opinion, the wording is far too close to materiel under copyright and constitutes Close paraphrasing--SPhilbrick T 21:53, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story

Previously speedily deleted as a copyvio, this new incarnation of the article, I'm afraid, remains a copyright problem with content copied or closely following at least one other source. For instance, the article says:

Written less than two years after the completion of the boycott, Stride Toward Freedom is the first book-length account of the Montgomery movement and the first of King’s trilogy of political autobiographies – followed by Why We Can’t Wait and Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

The introduction to the 2010 Beacon Press edition says (p xii):

Written less than two years after the successful completion of the boycott, Stride is both the first book-length history of the Montgomery movement and the first of King’s trilogy of political autobiographies – it would be followed by Why We Can’t Wait and Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

The article says:

Stride Toward Freedom briefly describes King’s childhood and teenage years, drawing attention to the influence of his mother, Alberta Williams King and his father, Martin Luther King, Sr. He mentions that his “quest for a method to eliminate social evil” began during his teenage years when he “saw economic injustice firsthand, and realized that the poor white was exploited just as much as the Negro.”

The source says (xiv-xv):

Stride briefly describes King’s childhood and teenage years, drawing attention to the crucial influence of his mother, Alberta Williams King...and his strong-willed father.... He mentions that his “quest for a method to eliminate social evil” began during his teenage years when he “saw economic injustice firsthand, and realized that the poor white was exploited just as much as the Negro.”

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. Given the close following here and in the previously deleted article, I'm afraid that the rest of the content will need to be verified free of copyright concerns if any of the article is to be retained.

So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this article should be rewritten in the temporary space that is now linked from the article's front. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be public domain or permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution.

Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:33, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. [2] MrOllie (talk) 15:12, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
