[edit] Copyright violation claim, and subsequent rebuttles

I am only using the website in question as a reference and am in the process of editing the original text and adding much more of my own, including adding many more references and text. I just need time to do so

Although I'm not terribly impressed by the unobjective tone of this article so far, I do think that the topic probably satisfies the notability requirement if a substantial article can be created to justify an article separate from Salt Lake Tabernacle.

Whoa—I just noticed that the tag was for copyright violation and not notability. This has simply been copied from the website, and must be deleted. If you want to write an original article using the method you desribe, don't do it in WP. Use a word processor or something and then copy it into WP.

Since the tag was placed on I have edited it significantly and intend to continue doing so. I feel that my additions already warrant the tag to be removed. I think it's clear the article will see much expanding and editing. Please help. Carterdriggs 07:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm trying to assist, but I've had to remove paragraphs that were copied verbatim from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir website. Even if we add material before and after the paragraphs that were copied, it's still copyright violation. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 01:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needing More Information

Please add any photos you can, or any more history or general information to make this article truly excellent.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Carterdriggs (talk • contribs) 09:36, 22 September 2007

See commons:Category:Salt Lake Tabernacle for more images already available to en:WP. -- 159.182.1.4 18:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-protected

What's up with the semi-protection on the page? I don't think there has been any serious "vandalism" on the page, unless you call my removing copyright-violating material "vandalism" ... Am I missing something? Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 09:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, the bot deleted it. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 12:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "... considered to be one of the finest organs in the world ..."

I have added a fact tag to this that is repeated getting deleted. Why? I'm marking it so editors know to get a citation that says something like this. It doesn't mean I think it's not true. In WP, we need sources, and that's all I'm indicating. Without a citation or at least a source tag, this is clearly a POV statement and should be removed. But I'm not removing it—I'm adding a citation tag. So leave it there, or provide a citation. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 10:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I had it previously referenced to another WP article, which you removed in your tirade of editing this article. I have since reviewed several of your articles, only to find that you reference WP articles as well. Leave mine alone if you can do it. --Carterdriggs 10:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

There is no reference to WP that serves as a cite on this or any other article I have written. Nice try, though. You may be confusing have WP links in articles and having a WP page itself serve as the source of for the information you are citing. I may put a link in a footnote—if the author of a book has a WP page, for instance—but it is the BOOK being cited for the information, not the WP page. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 12:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

In WP we cannot use other WP as a citation. That is why I deleted it and I said so in my edit summary, if you'd care to look. We need a non-WP article, book, or other citation. You need to familiarize yourself with some of the WP policies before you take offence at what others do. (Your cite tag was removed at the other article because it related to a fact that was already well-cited in the article. Quit playing tit-for-tat.) Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 10:31, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

A WP article was added as a citation again. Do you understand the principle of what WP requires for citations, Carter? We need a NON-WP source. I.e., a book, an article, a newspaper story, a TV program transcript, even a neutral website. Just not another WP page. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 12:13, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
WE need? Are you an administrator? I think not. YOU may want, but won't receive. Carterdriggs 00:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Lol—what? I was using "we" in the sense of "we, the WP community". I'm not sure why you have a chip on your shoulder about this: I'm trying to make good faith edits and hopefully help you understand the meaning of the tag and what qualifies as a reliable citation. Take it or leave it, but please don't engage in WP:ATTACK. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 01:23, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Carterdriggs, if you want to understand the WP communities standards for citations (a core principle) please start with WP:V and WP:CITE. -- 70.59.240.37 02:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
