Copyright concerns
In this edit, material was pasted into this article from the obituary. While some minor revisions have since occurred, this text remains substantially the same and will need to be revised, unless we receive permission to license the material under GFDL and CC-BY-SA (see Requesting copyright permission) or unless we are able to verify that it is public domain or already compatibly licensed. Since this article seems active, I am blanking the section to give regular contributors an opportunity to address the material rather than restoring the clean text before this material was placed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:07, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the section entirely since the template you put up was nothing but a big fat eyesore. If you'd like, you can use this discussion space to collaborate with other users on creating a new, violation-free entry.--72.130.131.28 (talk) 04:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your attempts to clean this article. However, copied persists into the next section, so your removal does not address these concerns. I have restored the template. If you'd like, you can revise the material in the temporary space linked from the article's face, and it will be placed into the article when completed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Please don't do that. It makes the article look atrocious--big templates like that should be reserved for discussion pages, not the article proper. Since I don't know how much of the material is copyrighted, how about this: You go in and remove everything that shouldn't be there. Then you take the template down. Then whoever wants to can work on improving the article. From a purely observational standpoint, however, having that template on the page is unacceptable. A visitor is going to look at it and wonder what the hell it's doing there.--72.130.131.28 (talk) 23:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The template on the article's face is standard practice for dealing with such issues as set out by Wikipedia's policies. I believe that most visitors should be able to understand what it means. Wikipedia cannot publish copyrighted material while waiting for the concerns to be resolved; as soon as copyrighted text is discovered on the project it must be blanked or removed. The template is attended to allow an opportunity for regular contributors to salvage the material or to seek permission to use it. However, although the template is supposed to remain in place for a week and a day, I have revised the text. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If that's the policy, then I would suggest that the policy is flawed. Glad to see the article has been reworked, though.--72.130.131.28 (talk) 21:15, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problem removed
One or more portions of this article duplicated other source(s). Infringing material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a license compatible with GFDL. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
