You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright. It is quite apparent that the text was copied, by you, verbatim, from http://www.syncmusic.jp/wordpress/?p=1880. Any admin can unblock when the editor agrees not to violate copyrights in the future&mdash;Kww(talk) 05:49, 11 November 2012 (UTC). If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.


 * You need to reread appeal this block again, especially the section about "abusing the unblock process". An exact copy of a large block of text from http://www.syncmusic.jp/wordpress/?p=1880 showed up in one of your edits. You've forced the violation in again after it was removed. You repeatedly denied having copied it, despite it being a word for word copy (including stragne capitalization that makes it extremely unlikely that it is your work being copied the opposite direction). You have provided no credible explanation. Why should any administrator believe your unblock request if you won't admit to the original violation? I can't deny your unblock request, but another admin will review it. I can't believe he's going to grant it.&mdash;Kww(talk) 06:06, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Because I did not think it was considered copyright. Like I said, it was not intentional. Sysmithfan (talk) 06:18, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I can understand how you could have been confused about it being a copyright violation, but you said you didn't copy it. Which is it? You didn't copy it, or you didn't realise that made it a copyright violation?&mdash;Kww(talk) 06:28, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Like it was stated previously, I did not copy from "the link you provided". But I did not realize that re-writing and providing reference links to support the information provided would be considered copyright. This is why I reversed the removal of the information I provided for the page. So once again, unintentional copyrighting. Sysmithfan (talk) 06:33, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * But you didn't rewrite. You didn't provide references. You took an entire paragraph word for word. The paragraph only shows up in the link I provided. It doesn't show up at all in http://cooljapanmusic.com/kreva-update/. I'm finding this frustrating: I can't unblock if you don't understand what you did was wrong, but your explanaton still doesn't make any sense. It's nearly midnight here. We'll talk more in the morning if no other admin comes along while I'm sleeping.&mdash;Kww(talk) 06:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You are wrong. I did not copy it word for word. I did provide references behind each fact. And yes it does show up on http://cooljapanmusic.com/kreva-bio/. You may not like hearing this, but now you are lying. All you had to do, was look under "Bio". And if you compare my edits to your link, you will find that it is not copied word for word. Not only that, I do not think you bothered to look at the references. Sysmithfan (talk) 07:11, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Just thought I'd stick my nose in here. I've been reading through what you added to the article and the text from the two websites that have been linked to. I would say that you copied a vast amount of the source material. This is well above any reasonable interpretation of close paraphrasing. In your view, leaving out a few words here and there or maybe a paragraph or two from the source material renders it sufficiently different that it is not a copyright violation. This is entirely not the case. What material you have used is still not written in your own words. Any reasonable comparison between your addition and the two websites can only result in a conclusion that you have copied the material, in part if not in full. Also, merely sourcing certain portions of your addition does not remove the copyright violation.


 * For comparison, I've taken the opening paragraph of your addition to Music Career


 * After creating a rap duo, BY PHAR THE DOPOEST with his longtime partner, Cuezero in 1996, Kreva has gone on to produce and remix for top artists such as Missy Elliott, and also become a household name as a front man for the chart topping platinum hip hop trio, KICK THE CAN CREW. The trio won the "International Album of the Year" for The Source Hip Hop Music Award in 2003.

 * Any one reading your text and comparing it to the following two can easily see that it is a near identical copy of at least one of them. Irrespective of whether cooljapan or syncmusic copied from each other. I could do comparisons for the rest of the edit, but I hope that just this one example would make it pretty obvious to you.
