We were told...

''Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Jordan Tyler... we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.myspace.com/jordantyler in this case)''

The following is our response to permissions (at) wikimedia (dot) org:

This is a false accusation. If you were to visit Jordan's myspace site (myspace.com/jordantyler) from which we were accused of taking copyrighted material, you will see that he indeed states, "Retrieved from wikipedia.org" on his own site underneath the quoted article that used to be on wikipedia. He did not write it; we did. This is why he states "retrieved from wikipedia.org." We compiled the article ourselves from the things we know about him. We're not certain how Jordan is able to prove himself to you through e-mail, unless wikipedia were able to communicate to him through his myspace site. He is relatively well-known in the music industry (working closely with dozens of professional musicians), and we feel the article (and its links to other articles) is worthy of being part of the wikipedia. We'll gladly make changes to the article as necessary.

Also, "killing sparrows" states: ''I came across this article in response to a request for copyediting. I looked for more info on the subejct with a Google search and found only the subject's my space page, from which this article is substantially copied. I can find no indication of notability or verifiable info outside of the said page. killing sparrows 01:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)''

Did "killing sparrows" notice that Jordan himself stated that he "retrieved" the article from wikipedia? Also, anyone who Google's "Jordan Tyler" will find dozens of links on him, including almost every link on the very first page of results!
