Copyright problems with [[]]

Hello, . Concerning your contribution, [[]], please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article appears to be a direct copy from http://. I have removed the copyright material and reduced the article to a stub.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at [[Talk:]] and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at [[Talk:]] with a link to where we can find that note.
If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on [[Talk:]].

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. Please note that even when text is used with permission, its style and tone may be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article and require heavy editing.

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you.

COI

I have recently extensively edited the article you created, [[]]. Please read the article's [[Talk:|talk page]] for the further improvements required. Also, if you have a close connection to the person or organisations you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. Please read conflict of interest for guidance when editing under these circumstances.

Editors who are affiliated in any way (personal or professional) with X must adhere to the following guidelines when editing it.

1. Before even starting to edit it again, please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography for guidance.

2. Similarly, Wikipedia is not a newsletter or bulletin board. Avoid terms like "now", "soon", "currently" and "recently" which make the article both imprecise, and in many instances, quickly inaccurate. Instead, use expressions such as "as of 2009".

3. Remember that you are writing for an international readership, not simply Americans, and not simply your potential customers. Avoid the use of abbreviations like FL for Florida, NYC for New York City and expressions like "around the country" for "around the United States".

4. This is an encyclopedia article, not X's personal web site or news letter. All additions must be referenced to reliable sources. Future performances are inappropriate. Performances should be added once they have actually taken place and a reference for them can be provided.

5. Evidence to support notability or make claims about the subject's notability and to assert praise or otherwise from others must be referenced to reliable published sources which are independent of the subject.

6. All additions must be neutrally worded and use encyclopedic tone and style. Any additions which can be perceived by a neutral reader as hype or PR will be removed. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms for guidance.

7. Do not paste in text from your or anyone else's official websites, blogs etc. Apart from the almost invariably unsuitable promotional style, it is a copyright violation unless the sites explicitly display a license compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License. There is a list of compatible licenses here. Further guidance can be found on the following pages. Please read them carefully:

8. Remember, that once you have written an article on Wikipedia, you no longer own it. It will always have to conform to Wikipedia's policies on content, style and formatting – not to the subject's desired image or marketing goals.

Stock Message 1: Wikipedia is not an advertising space. This article needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view and provide independent, verifiable sources to establish both the claims in the article and the subject's notability. If these sources are not provided in one week, the article will be proposed for deletion. Please see the Wikipedia notability guidelines for musicians and ensembles for guidance. Thanks,

Stock Message 2: This is supposed to be a verifiable encyclopaedia. Whether someone is popular or unpopular, has many personal accomplishments or few, is irrelevant. Wikipedia's entries have to be properly documented parts of the corpus of human knowledge, not ways to get someone into that corpus. So please show where this subject has been documented by people independent of her web site or agent(s).

Online sources

Sources for articles on contemporary singers

With the caveat that journalists can also be sloppy about checking facts, on the whole, I find the best independent sources for contemporary singers tend to be mainstream press or journal articles. The Guardian (UK), The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The International Herald Tribune, and Time Magazine all have extensive archives that are largely free (except for certain NYT articles). The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age (Melbourne) also have a lot of free articles in their pre-2006 archives. To access their contents quickly, type the following in the search box at Google:

site:observer.guardian.co.uk "Singer's name"
site:query.nytimes.com "Singer's Name"
site:www.sfgate.com "Singer's Name"
site:www.iht.com "Singer's Name"
site:www.time.com "Singer's Name"
site:theage.com.au "Singer's Name"
site:smh.com.au "Singer's Name"

FindArticles.com is also useful, although some of their content is premium. (You can adjust the search to look for free content only)

VdT

The Books page has external links to complete books on opera and singing as well as literary works which were the sources of opera libretti. (All downloads listed are available free online).
The Reading Room page has links to a variety of online articles and resources on opera, singing and music.
The Opera & Music News Links page lists web sites providing news, reviews, and articles on opera and classical music. Items marked with * are particularly useful for daily opera news and reviews.

Google book search

Google's specialized book search engine can be very useful, although the results will vary from citation only, to very limited 'snippets', to fairly extensive previews, to the full book. You can set the search for the type of results you want via the 'advanced search' mode. Below are some examples (I'll add more as I find them):

Works which have a fairly extensive preview available and are internally searchable:

American Opera Singers And Their Recordings: Critical Commentaries And Discographies By Clyde T. McCants, Published 2004, McFarland & Company
The Rough Guide to Opera By Matthew Boyden (Contributors: Joe Staines, Nick Kimberley), Published 2002, Rough Guides
Opera 2000. Annuario dell'opera lirica in Italia, Edited by G. Pugliaro, Published 2000, EDT srl

Opera Image Sources

The Naples Theatre Archives (Archivi di Teatro Napoli) are a valuable resource for portraits of singers, original set and costume designs, etc., especially for Rossini. Go here: [2]. Enter the search term in the box for "Ricerca in tutti i cataloghi" and then click "Cerca".

Online programme notes and programmi di sala

'Programmi di sala' from La Fenice (pdf files in Italian). They contain full librettos, extensive essays on the operas, many illustrations with original playbills and posters, role creators' portraits, original set and costume designs, score extracts, etc.

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free book cover true for No Jumping on the Bed!
Description	This is the front cover art for the book No Jumping on the Bed! written by Tedd Arnold. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher, Dial Books for Young Readers, or the cover artist, Tedd Arnold.
Source	May be found at the following website: amazon.co.uk.
Article	No Jumping on the Bed!
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Header. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the beginning of the article or section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.
Replaceable?	As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image as a header would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Other information	Use of the book cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Portion used	The entire DVD cover. Because the image is a cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Rationale for fair use in Pagliacci (1982 film)
Description:	Cover of the Deutsche Grammophon DVD Release of the 1982 film Pagliacci
Source:	http://mallika.vox.com/library/video/6a00c2252654f28e1d00e398a650050005.html
Rationale for use on wikipedia:	1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject. 2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. 3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. 4.The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above. 5.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. 6.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. 7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title. 8.The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film or film character itself. 9.The image is used in the article namespace. 10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
Resolution:	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Replaceable?:	As a DVD cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the images from the cover would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Compatibility with wikipedia?:	Use of this DVD cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
