 * Note: As a longtime contributor to this article, I do not believe this article is a copyvio. In any case, the link provided does not work, as far as I can tell. Suggest this case be closed. I have also left a message at Gorgan almighty's talk page. Thanks. Jus  da  fax   05:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have removed the tag. The "source" we are "violating" looks like it is copied from Wikipedia. Hence there is an "External links" section in the bit on Island Records.  I can't see a CC-BY-SA statement anywhere in the book, or any mention of Wikipedia.  Searching the contents of the book with Google Books gives nothing.  I suspect that this book has broken the law.

 * As the user who originally flagged this as a potential copyvio, I concur. Thanks for investigating. &mdash;gorgan_almighty (talk) 16:13, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting support.svg Backwardscopy. Tag and explanation placed at talk page. Agreed that this is a backwards copy - currently not tagged but given the obviousness of it there seems little point --Dpmuk (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "Tag and explanation placed on talk page". Really?  Where?  Yaris678 (talk) 13:15, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That's part of the standard template - hence the comment after it where I say I didn't tag it. If you really want I can tag it although it seems pointless. Dpmuk (talk) 15:35, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not really all that obvious at first glance, especially as the book doesn't cite Wikipedia as a source. &mdash;gorgan_almighty (talk) 18:25, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
