Talk:City Waites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like a copy vio - appears to be the blurb from a CD sleeve.

OK you got me fair and square. I copied it from the blurb on "Musicians of Grope Lane". Don't you just hate perfectionists! I don't know, you buy an obscure album, it goes out of print for several years, you then gather together the best discography of that groups that exists anywhere on the web, you put it into Wiki, and then you get accused, very prominently, of copy vio. Grumble, grumble. I hope you approve of my improvement. Ogg 09:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV sticker

Why? As far as I can see it has neutral language and the copyright issue has (apparently) been rectified. In any case is a copyright violation an NPOV issue? --Silver149 6 July 2005 08:15 (UTC)

I am removing it. I know nothing about the band itself and whether or not there are any controversities about it, but there is no POV in the article. — Kkmº 20:58, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discography and band history

I have added the bands earliest recordings to the discography and ammended the period that band started to the early 70's as the first album was released in 1974, therefore the bands inception must pre-date that.

[edit] copyvio?

You seem to be implying that there is something wrong with copying stuff from liner notes. If you look at the article "Jake Thackeray" within wikipedia, there whole article appears to be a straight copy of the insert booklet, yet it is not considered to be copyvio. Why? Also, I notice that the Amazon website often copies large slabs of text from the covers of CDs and puts them on web pages to try to promote sales of the albums. Why should Wikipedia be afraid of being sued for copyright violation, and yet amazon is not afraid?
