Angels of Venice
Hi. I'm going to change the edit you made here. First off, there's not going to ever be an article named "Carol Tatum, Harp/Irish Bouzouki"; if anything, Carol (you?) would have your own article. Secondly, the members' instruments are in a separate section now called Lineup, so having them in the box at the top is redundant.

As a side note, I've removed a lot of text that you added as a copyright violation. Please don't readd it. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:36, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Your addition to Angels of Venice has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:44, 31 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello??? This is Carol Tatum, owner of Angels Of Venice.  No copyright laws have been violated by the content I edited in my page so I don't understand why my edits caused three whole paragraphs (each describing the three musicians) to be removed, especially since those same three paragraphs had been up on Wiki for a long time.  I kept trying to add the paragraphs back because I didn't realize you had sent me a "warning."  I assure you, as a copyright OWNER, there are no copyright violations of anything put on my Angels Of Venice Wiki page.  How can we fix this?  I'd like to be able to have our individual musician descriptions back.  Thank you.  By the way, everything typed/composed on our page has been created by me and only me.  ~ Carol Tatum, Angels Of Venice


 * First off, Wikipedia isn't meant to be a place for promotion. As such, press kit materials and boilerplate text like the stuff you were adding doesn't belong on Wikipedia. The article on Angels of Venice is supposed to be neutral, i.e. not another place to promote the band. This article is about the group; the text you're adding is about the individual members. To that end, the text would be better placed on articles about the individual musicians, though that's beyond the scope of this.
 * Second, there's no way through the front part of Wikipedia to validate that you are the copyright holder. I know it sounds silly, but just showing up and claiming to be the copyright holder doesn't make it so. You can email the folks at Contact us/Permit about releasing text to Wikipedia. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:07, 31 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello. I assure you I understand the neutral policy.  Only facts were mentioned about each band member such as each musicians' history, such as with the page on the band "Foreigner" (please refer to their page and you will see what I mean).  Individual musician biographies are commonplace and simply state facts and are not promotional pitching.  All bands are groups with individual members so the band and the members are both written about.  Also, I own the "Angels Of Venice" trademark and copyrights for all compositions since 1993 but how am I - or any musician, whether me or Mick Jones from Foreigner - supposed to prove our ownership?  I am the owner.  I have written all this content myself.  Biographies are commonly included in neutral descriptions of bands.  Instruments are listed next to band members' names.  This is all commonplace procedure.  I was a legal secretary and also worked at record companies before I signed a record deal with my group Angels Of Venice.  So, I'm really at a loss.  It's strange because our bios have been removed but info about our guest vocalists is still there; that doesn't make sense to me, to have that info but not the objective biographical information on each member.  Finally, our previous biography content was up on Wiki with no problem for long time until now.  And, now, all of a sudden it is deemed unacceptable and removed.  I have been in the music business a long time and everything I have included and edited on this page is standard.  Thank you.


 * This has nothing to do with industry standards. This article was relatively untouched for a long time, so no one caught these issues until now. As to the copyvio text, Wikipedia edits are made to be free and open, and adding copyrighted text is a violation of that. It's a technicality, but how do I know that you're really Carol Tatum? For argument's sake, couldn't I come onto Wikipedia, claim to be Bill Gates, and try to add text that "I" own the rights to? As I explained above, you can contact Wikipedia outside the normal site.
 * Another issue is that the text you're adding is very boilerplate. I understand you're adding it from your press kit junket or wherever, but its tone and form isn't really acceptable for Wikipedia. If you reformat it to be more in the Wiki style, we could discuss its inclusion. I left the guest vocalists in because that's related to releases that the band has put out. By comparison, you (Tatum) being an ASCAP member is beyond the scope of an article about the group. I'd also point you towards other similar articles for musical groups written here. Almost no articles mention a member being in ASCAP, for example; it comes off as rather press kit-y and promotional.
 * Again, the instruments next to the band member's name is properly formatted in the Lineup section. There are standards for using that infobox. For the current members section, for example, it says "Current members of the group, listed in order of joining with no other notation than names." Adding instruments there isn't really acceptable. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 12:06, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Can you help me? What tag would I select if I am the owner free and clear of the photograph that is on our page? I have reviewed the list and am not quite sure which tag is the correct tag I should use. Which tag code corresponds to someone owning the photograph free and clear? Thank you.
