Talk:Johnnie Bassett

The sentence in question, in the article's lede, seems to be the problem. Firstly, it is cited as being sourced as from, which I was not aware of, or indeed actually read, in composing this article. In itself it is an arguable copyright violation of the original text at. Frankly, I would suggest it is difficult to radically re-word - "Bassett cites Aaron "T-Bone" Walker as a major influence, as well as B.B. and Albert King, Tiny Grimes and Billy Butler."

Also, I merely incorporated my small re-wording of this, to fill out the lede. It is easily removed, without seriously affecting the overall Wiki article. If there are further concerns elsewhere in the article, please advise, and I will withdraw absolutely. Otherwise, can I suggest that the 'offending sentence' is removed in its entirety or, if anyone else can create something more original from the bare bones on offer, then that could perhaps prevail. Thank you,

 * It actually appears as if there has been some reformulation, but the structure of the article follows the referenced text. Not sure if you know, slight reformulation is generally not enough to avoid copyright issues.   ttonyb  (talk) 01:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Hopefully these issues are now resolved within the present wording. Thanks,
