Talk:Christopher Sinclair

Not sure what's going on here. I found the new article External inputs, which was a bio of an executive Christopher Sinclair. So I did that move, assuming it was an error by the original poster.

I agree that it's a copyright violation; it's copied from | here. Note that the link in the copyvio is wrong.

The subject of the article is probably prominent enough. Being CEO of a Fortune 500 company qualifies. But a new bio, or permission from the subject to use one of his several bios on the web, seems to be needed. Thanks. --John Nagle 02:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead and reword the bio; it's simpler for all concerned. If you copy something that can be found on the web, someone is going to report a copyright violation. Under current US law, everything is copyrighted when written until formally released by the owner, subject to some exceptions.

If you have a portrait and can release it into the public domain, you might add that. Thanks. --John Nagle 03:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I have changed the copied part from the website. thanks for your help, getting me started. Sirsinbad 03:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Sure. You may now have to wait a day or so until the copyright violation clears, and because someone made a typo when reporting the copyright violation, it may take longer. But it will be cleared up. --John Nagle 03:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Cleaning up this mess
Due to some problems with the "copyvio" template, this apparently didn't get listed properly for copyright review. So I'm going to take the new proposed text from Christopher Sinclair/Temp and replace the article with that. Thanks. --John Nagle 20:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
