Talk:Antonio Sánchez (drummer)

Copyright violation
This biography seems plagiarized from somewhere Jollyjoegiant 03:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The entire biography seems to be directly off of Sanchez's website and was only reformatted for Wikipedia website found here: Antonio Sanchez's Biography.Anothermusician 23:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * You are correct. The whole text was copied and pasted.  I've reverted back to a version that I believe doesn't violate policy.  There was another revision that had a longer description but it was edited by User:Antoniosan whose only edits were to the article in question.  Since it's against policy to edit articles about yourself I skipped restoring it.  --Mperry 06:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

You guys are nuts (and why are the dates behind your names incorrect? I did not work on his bio a year ago). Every single article that you read about Antonio has this same information that I paraphrased from his site as well as from a variety of different jazz sites that copied or paraphrased this same information. I cited everything that was specifically drawn from another source (following copyright law to the "t") and paraphrased the rest of the common information. When you are writing biographic info, of course it is going to sound similar since you are re-telling the exact same friggin' story. How many different ways can you say that someone graduated from college "X." If you did more research on this biography, you would have found it written multiple times in multiple places in more or less the same way. I paraphrased it as best I could. Lastly, you have NO idea that someone with the username Antoniosan was actually Antonio Sanchez himself (highly unlikely). Plus could the edits been anything but corrections to facts if it in fact was him? So if I literally am not allowed to quote other sources (what kind of policy is that???), that seems like some simple edits to do. Thanks for taking 2+ hours of work and flushing it for no good reason. Let the disincentivization of contributing to Wikipedia begin ... oh wait, it did not begin. The disincentivization is complete.

 * The dates are different in the above comments as they are regarding an older copyright violation by another user. Regarding your edits, this edit contains two paragraphs taken from here for starters. Changing a word or two in such a large body of text is not adhering to copyright law;  It is plagiarism. You may want to visit the Village Pump to get assistance with editing and review. My suggestion is to create a list of facts about this person.  Then figure out what would be the best order in which to present the facts.  Finally, referencing only the facts and not any existing text by other individuals, write the article.  This insures that you cover the facts while stating them entirely in your own writing. --Mperry (talk) 19:47, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

You exaggerated the extent of the similarity (a word or two??). I have no idea why this would trouble anyone. Your suggestion about listing facts and writing from the facts is a good one.Robespierre87 (talk) 21:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I exaggerate? In the edit linked above you copied two paragraphs verbatim from the subject's web site.  119 words in total.  And that's just one site from which you copied content and placed unchanged into this article.  Only the third paragraph, which was a single sentence, was your own work.  It troubles people because it's copyright infringement which is illegal.  Although you might not personally bear the burden of violating the law, it does put Wikipedia at risk.  The presence of unlicensed copyrighted material damages Wikipedia's reputation as a reliable source of information.  Not only is it illegal but it is unethical as Wikipedia is presenting someone else's work as its own.  Any student learns this when learning to write essays in high school and college.  Most schools will fail a student for submitting work with plagiarized content.  People have lost their jobs and had careers end because of plagiarizing works.  It is a serious matter.  That's why it's important that information on this site be licensed properly, and why people such as myself are diligent about identifying and rectifying such matters. --Mperry (talk) 16:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
