[tag moved from my talk page]

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of William Bodiford, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://international.ucla.edu/buddhist/people/faculty.asp.

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.

Hi. Regarding your tag: The source of this text is here (rather than here per your bot). He has at least three UCLA biographies and no other source for his career I can find. If that means delete this article, please go ahead and delete it and let me know on my talk page if you would. Thanks. -SusanLesch (talk) 04:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
