This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=50386241. As a copyright violation, Phaedra (R&B Songstress) appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Phaedra (R&B Songstress) has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image 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:Phaedra (R&B Songstress) and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

Removal of a db-copyvio tag is vandalism. Wikipedia will not host copyright violations. If you own the rights to the wording, then having it located on both myspace and blackplanet.net would seem to be a problem, but in any case, you must prove that you own the copyright. See Wikipedia:CP#Copyright_owners_who_submitted_their_own_work_to_Wikipedia on how to prove that you are the copyright owner. If you are not the copyright owner, then repeated posting of the copyrighted material will get you blocked from editing. Corvus cornix_talk 23:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
