Eric Gale
Hi there. I got your message. Now that you have educated me, I agree that as Stereo Review appears to be a Reliable source, that the information contained in the article can be used improve the Eric Gale article. However, pasting the text of that article verbatim is still a copyright violation. Copyright violations are take very seriously on Wikipedia, and this is not negotiable. As you are now an editor here, feel free to be bold and add information to the article. However, please do not copy complete sentences or paragraphs, as that would still be a copyright violation. Remember to cite the source using appropriate footnotes. I've also included a welcome notice, above, that has lots of useful information that will help you understand better how wikipedia works. Thank you. &mdash; Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 02:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
