[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Andy Moor standing coat 2 220px.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Andy Moor standing coat 2 220px.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Speed CG Talk 17:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copy/pasting text from other websites
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Andy Moor article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Wickethewok (talk) 20:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: your email
I received your email. In the future when communicating with other editors, you will probably find it much easier to communicate via their talk page than through email. If you want to know more about a talk page, see this: Wikipedia:Talk page. Another relevant page you may want to read is Conflict of Interest - it is not always a good idea for people associated with the subject of an article to edit it. In any case, if you do add material, please do not make it biased/opinionated (see Neutral Point of View policy). Phrases such as "he is one of the... most accomplished artists in the scene" adds a bias towards the subject of the article while adding little information. It is best to present readers with basic facts and let them come up with their own opinions. You may present published outside views of the artist (music reviews from music magazines, etc..) as long as they are always stated as such, but please always cite your sources (with a URL if possible). I have had the Andy Moor article on my Watchlist for awhile so I will monitor your progress and help you out as I can. If you have any questions, please leave a message on my talk page (click on my username). Wickethewok (talk) 05:30, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Andy Moor photo
I see that you uploaded a photo of Andy Moor. However, you did not specify a source or a free-license for the image. On that image page, please say who owns the copyright to the image, who took the photo, and what free license you are willing to use. Wikipedia only uses free-use images (except for specific cases), which means that images could be used for any purpose by anyone. I recommend using the Creative Commons Share-Alike 3.0 license. Assuming you want to do this, just paste the following text onto the image
I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses: {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}

- With regards to a discography, there's nothing in particular you need to know, as there really isn't a standard way to write a discography at this time to my knowledge. If Andy Moor has an especially large discography (like 50 releases or so), you may want to consider leaving out some of the less important ones and labeling it just a "Selected discography". This way, readers could potentially more easily see the more important ones. With regards to discography formatting, there really isn't any de facto standard, but I like and use the style seen at John Digweed. You can click HERE to see how to type this kind of formatting. ALSO, please "sign" your posts on talk pages by placing four tildes at the end (~~~~) - it will automatically be converted in your name. Cheers. Wickethewok (talk) 06:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
