Talk:Act Noir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a real group with 14,000 google hits, multiple albums, full time professional career musicians, been around for decades, and press coverage and reviews, so probably notable. However, we have a new problem. The main link I found, http://www.gothic-online.de/topMusic-op-bio-idartist-165-idalbum-170-idsong-.html, contains a band biography that's nearly identical to this entry. Somebody plagiarized somebody. So possible copyright infringement by the original editor, or else violation of the free content license by failing to attribute on the part of gothic online. I'm not sure which. Toodles. Wikidemo 17:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

It is not a copyright infringement... The band's history you found on http://www.gothic-online.de has been prepared by the band's record label "My Kingdom Music" (http://www.mykingdommusic.net) to be used as press release for magazines and web-magazines. The band's history on Wikipedia has been enriched with more information and modified with a more "encyclopedic approach".

You should not write about topics if you are closely involved with them. Right now, this article is written in a very informal, personal, and promotional way.-Wafulz 13:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
