Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Wfp! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 2 of the articles that you created are currently tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 378 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hans Rudolf Herren - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Surinder Vasal - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Should you return to editing, please note that Wikipedia cannot use material copied from other places, unless given specific permission by the copyright holder. I have had to delete several articles you created because they were blatant copyright violations. Will Beback talk 08:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
