[edit] Lyrics

Hi, I noticed you've been creating a number of articles which include the complete lyrics to songs. You might want to read the following policy, Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources. Wikipedia articles should generally not include the complete text of songs, poems, and so on. The lyrics, as they are presumably not copyrighted due to their age, can be posted to Wikisource, and then a link to the wikisource text could be posted in a wikipedia article.

(If you find this to be too difficult or too much trouble, probably others will copy the lyrics to wikisource and then remove them from the wikipedia articles eventually. However, this does make more work for others...) --Xyzzyplugh 17:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Apologies and thanks; I wasn't aware of that. Because I just copied the layout from an existing page, I had assumed it was OK. As you've probably guessed, I'm a relative newbie--but I do want to do a good job. I'll take care of the suggested edits asap.--Udar 04:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
