Dick Wetmore

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dick Wetmore, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.jazz.com/encyclopedia/2007/10/18/wetmore-dick-richard-byron.

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.

Hi. I appreciate your effort to rewrite this article, but I'm afraid that your last version of it remained unusable. It included the following:

In 1949 and 1950, Dick completed his high school education, which had been interrupted by World War II. He graduated with honors from the Berkeley Preparatory School in Boston and then enrolled in Boston University as a violin major where he was tutored by Albert Spaulding. After a year at BU he transferred to the New England Conservatory of Music to study composition with Judd Cook. While at the Conservatory, Dick was chosen to play violin in an orchestra conducted by Nicolas Slonimsky for a definitive performance of American composer Charles Ives's "Three Places in New England." He also had the good fortune to meet classical composer Bob Zieff who created an original classical suite of music featuring Dick's violin improvisation.

The source says:

In 1949 and 1950, Dick completed his high school education, which had been interrupted by World War II. He graduated with honors from the Berkeley Preparatory School in Boston and then enrolled in Boston University as a violin major where he was tutored by Albert Spaulding.

He also had the good fortune to meet classical composer Bob Zieff who created an original classical suite of music featuring Dick's violin improvisation.

This, as you can see, remains the same. Some other content was simply rearranged. You merged together the sentences, "During the 1950s and '60s, Dick played violin, trumpet, cornet, and baritone horn primarily in the Boston and New York areas" and "Dick performed with many of the biggest names in jazz during the period, including extended stints with the Gerry Mulligan quintet and Woody Herman's sextet in Las Vegas" to form the sentence "During the 1950s and '60s, Wetmore performed with many of the biggest names in jazz during the period."

Other passages similarly followed too closely.

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this article need to be rewritten. 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 if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RELIABLE SOURCES

Dear Bmusician - Thanks for trying to keep the standards of Wikipedia high. I want to discuss the reliability of sources in the Deaf community in the US. I am not trying to be disrespectful, but it appears that in this case wikipedia's standards are ethnocentric - and therefore discounting the norms of Deaf community information sharing.

In the Deaf community these blogs are written and in ASL. They have authenticity since they come from the community. As an oppressed minority, the language of communication is an important issue. The sources I have cited are important in the Deaf community - RIT/NTID - that is one of the few technical colleges for the Deaf in the US. Gallaudet is the only liberal arts college for the Deaf in the world. DeafTexas - The Texas Association of the Deaf does not print in the mainstream journals or books, rather these blogs are the way the members of this organization communicate information of import. The youtube videos are direct sources for an ASL speaking community. If you were fluent in ASL you would be able to register the veracity of the content ADN the face-to-face value of such information. These are the print media of the new deaf community. Deafart is a respected source for Deaf arts. Deaf Media is an organization with over 30 years experience in providing performing and visual arts access. Disability word.org - is just that - the disability community info central. And Chuck Baird's own foundation that was created for the purpose of supporting Deaf artists.

Please reconsider the standards to respect and allow the Deaf community's sources in wikipedia.

Thank you!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Don't Shoot the Messenger (web series) (January 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Current sources are only announcements and mentions and this specifically needs majorly published news in major publications as that's what establishes notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
