Copyright problems in Brunel (opera project)
Hello, there. I've left a message about the copyright/closeparaphrasing issues in this article on Talk:Brunel (opera project). Please check your contributions to other articles to ensure they don't have a similar problem. You'll find more guidance at WikiProject Opera Copyright Guidelines, and if you have any kind of connection with Matthew King (professional or personal), you also need to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for guidance when editing under these circumstances.

Excessive quotation of copyright text
Me again. You really have to take on board Wikipedia's policies on the use of non-free content. Only the briefest quotes from copyright text are allowed. You've put huge chunks in both Jane's minstrels and King's Wood Symphony. They must be removed and summarized with the actual quoted material no more than two sentences (and preferably less) from any one source. There is a link in the article to the original source, the reader can follow the link for more. Please read Wikipedia:Non-free content. In general, excessive use of quotes from multiple sources, where the article is over half quotes, and particularly where they are all favourable is also frowned on.

I'm going to add the standard welcome message at the top of this page which has links to guidance pages that you'll find helpful. Also don't forget to provide edit summaries when you make a change to page. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 19:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
