OK. I´ll make som revisions - reformulate some statements, so that it can be no sucpicion of copyright intrution.Erik031 10:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I rewrote the statements that were the same as the text on the homesite of the theatre. I hope the fact that I use the facts from the website aren't considered a copyright intrution - surely, that would mean that most newspaper are violating the copyright whenever they use external sources...

While using facts from a website is of course OK, copying text is never. Ever. Not even if you reformulate it. What matters here is not whether there can be any suspicion of copyright violation, but if there IS any copyright violation. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 14:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, but this text now is a generally formulated text about the theatre. In its present condition it is not copyed from the website - and from the beginning it was two or three sentences that were. The problem is that if you demand that all things (facts) that is on the background info on the homepage of the theatre should be omitted from the wikitext, there is simply nothing you can say about the theatre. For example: Backa theatre is a part of the City Theatre, it was founded by Eva Bergman and so forth... A copyright violation means taking a text from another source in extensio. I haven´t.

Can a third party please look at the text and the fotnote source I´ve provided... Erik031 15:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe it constitutes a copyright violation for now. However, you can't just remove speedy deletion-tags - leave it in place until an admin has investigated the issue. That's why I put it back. It will probably be kept, though.Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 20:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the possible copyright problems

I'm sorry but I've had to delete the article. While there were changes from the original form copied from another website, they text was substantially the same. Simply rewriting another's text and moving it around a bit isn't sufficient to avoid copyright problems. Please feel free to rewrite the article in your own words.
