Possible copyright violation
I came across this article after watching Cave of Forgotten Dreams. I noticed that in September 2011 Fivestringbassclef deleted the entire text of the article and replaced it with this edit. The current version of the article is a verbatim copy of this website.

Is this a copyright violation? Some things to consider:
 * Maybe Fivestringbassclef wrote the entire article offline and just uploaded it to Wikipedia all at once.
 * The page on europejazz.net is also dated September 2011, so maybe they copied it from Wikipedia.
 * Even if the Wiki article was copied from them, it might have been published under the appropriate license.

There is no author listed on the website in question, except possibly Jeff Tamarkin, but it's not entirely clear. There are no copyright notices that I can find. Some helpful links:

 * Donating copyrighted materials

I assume good faith, but I want to get to the bottom of this. Braincricket (talk) 02:28, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I've removed the text as a copyright violation of that webpage. Although it is possible we had the text first if we can't prove that we err on the side of caution in cases like this due to the possible legal implications.  Having had a lot of experience with copyright work on wikipedia it is also my opinion that the editor almost certainly copied from that webpage.  If the editor who introduced the text is indeed the original author and copyright holder then they should follow the procedure below so that we have prove of this.  (As a slight aside the lack of a copyright notice is irrelevant as the text is protected even without one). Dpmuk (talk) 20:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Improvements needed
I noticed this article missing an infobox while surfing to work on other articles, so I added the infobox, with what little imformation that I could find in the stub. However, upon looking here on this talk page, with his tag as a classical musician, it is possible it's not the correct one but I think what's there should be OK right now, at least, since I think either kind might work as well.
 * I also noticed previous issues violating copyright, yet, there was a "listening" section someone added. When I was a much younger editor, I noticed an article with one, so I thought it was OK, and started doing it to the chagrin of others, until I found it was not OK. Whether the music is free to listen to or not, it still violates the copyright of the musicians themselves, and depending upon the case, also the website where it was found, their producers, songwriters, and others, which is why I had to delete it. I did add a proper reference section, and if anyone editing here needs help understanding how the inline references work, please do contact me on my talk page and I'll be happy to explain. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 08:09, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
