I have placed a copy vio notice on this article beacuse most of its text verbatim match www.allmusic.com article on the same subject. -JCarriker 06:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

It was also sourced to allmusic.com. Trilemma 17:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

That doesn't matter. You can't just copy a source verbatim, that's plagarism. You can include quatations of it, but not the majority of the article. Inclusion of a source in such a manner is a violation of wikipedia policy. -JCarriker 18:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Fine, it's changed. Trilemma 20:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• Acceptable. You can use information from other sources if you want to expand the article. You just cannot cut and paste it nor transcribe it wholesale. Thanks for your prompt response and cooperation. -JCarriker 23:10, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

I have restored the version of the article written by Liliputian. This is not a cut and paste of the material from allmusic.com, unlike the previous version by Trilemma. -JCarriker 19:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
