RE: The Grouch...
It doesn't matter if you interviewed the person or not, what you are doing (copy/paste from another website), is copyright infringement. This is illegal, and will not be accepted by Wikipedia. If you want to write an article about the person, write it yourself, don't steal someone else's work. - Adolphus79 (talk) 06:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, that may have come off a little mean... Please don't take offence, I was just trying to point out that we don't mind an article for him, if:
 * A:) it's not copyrighted material stolen from another website (you write the article in your own words)...
 * B:) you can prove that he is notable enough to warrant an article.
 * I hope that this does not discourage you from editing on Wikipedia, it's just that we can get in a lot of trouble for copyright infringement. - Adolphus79 (talk) 07:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
