First off, you cannot copy and paste copyrighted information directly from a website to Wikipedia, unless you have stated permission to do so by the copyright owner. Second, you can't just remove a copyright violation notice, unless you replace it was a non-copyrighted version.--Kross | Talk 22:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Alright, it seems that you own the copyright. You should have stated this on the discussion page from the beginning.--Kross | Talk 22:15, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

ok, 1. Yes, I own the copyright to all the info, and it would have been obvious if anyone had read the text.

2. Forget it, it does'nt matter anyway and i have deleted the info, as this seems to be an absolute waste of time

3. I have never met such a bunch of rude, arrogant people, i mean seriously, fair eonugh theere's guidelines, thats fine...and i was'nt sure if i fitted into them or not..as they are not very clearly definied..and as for what is notebale and whats note I think tahts a joke. but have some repsect, it does'nt feel great to have a bunch of people totally bag out what you do and go "oh your non-notable, what a peice of shit", yeah thanks alot. well for the record I am doing just fine and have better things to do than be abused like this. I have deleted all info and deleting my account. What a waste of time.

 * Straytheories, please note that no offense is meant when an article is proposed for deletion. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and, as such, we must have certain guidelines regarding what goes into it and what does not.  Musicians and bands have their own set of guidelines, and some general guidelines are ideas such as "notability" and "verifiability".  No offense is meant when we say that an article does not imply notability; it's simply not yet ready to go into an encyclopedia.  (There are also guidelines regarding "vanity" pages - pages which are created or edited by the persons or group they are about.  This is frowned upon - even someone such as Bill Clinton or George W. Bush would be asked not to create or edit an article about themselves, as it does not permit objectivity.)  I hope you realize that no one was trying to bag on you or insult you or your music (if someone called you a piece of shit, please let me know, and we'll get it taken care of right away!), we're simply trying to uphold the guidelines that have been collaboratively established by the millions of editors on Wikipedia.  I hope that this situation does not leave a bad taste in your mouth, as it was certainly not intended that way.  Stick around and help out if you wish!

Image Tagging Image:Biopic.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Biopic.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 12:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
