Plagiarism of the Marching Raven's website. Dalekusa (talk) 15:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Even though I wrote parts of this myself and REFERENCED the original source at the bottom of the article, if you want completely original content for this article, I'll write it. I do have a real job, so I can't write it immediately. I also don't have time to sit around and police Wikipedia and destroy the intent by making sure it only contains information I deem worthy.

• Comment The band itself IS notable, as it is one of the few official NFL marching bands, however I do agree the page needs to be greatly cleaned up, with the possible copyvios removed. Wildthing61476 (talk) 16:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete this version and create a non-copyvio stub. --Smashville^BONK! 16:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I hate plagiarism, and I think there should be zero tolerance for it. The topic is worthwhile-- most NFL teams don't have their own marching band, after all-- but author needs to write about this in his/her own words. If you're simply cutting and pasting someone else's work, you're not actually creating an article. Mandsford (talk) 01:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
