Talk:Joseph Fitzmartin

Copyright violation
The text of this article is virtually verbatim from http://www.paboychoir.org/whoswho.asp with only a few changes. I removed some of the peacock terms, and added the source. But if this isn't substabtially re-written in the next 24 hours, I'm going to reduce it to a stub to eliminate the copyright violation. See WP:Close paraphrasing.

 * Even if it hadn't been a copyvio, it was completely unencyclopedic and promotional in tone, and had no references to support any of the assertions. Also, by pasting that text in wholesale, all the formatting and references from previous editors (representing a lot of work) was removed. If you wish to make additions. Do them gradually, in your own words maintaining a neutral point of view, referencing them to reliable sources which are completely independent of the subject, and respecting the existing formatting. Note to future editors, if you have any connection whatsoever with Joseph Fitzmartin (either personal or professional) please read Conflict of interest and Autobiography for guidance when editing under these circumstances and follow the guidelines there scrupulously.
