Further note. The material from St Francis Village News was copied into Wikipedia with some minor changes in this edit on 21 January 2013. According to his social media manager, the material on Wikipedia was later copied onto Elvis Blue's official website. Even if he were to release his web page under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license, none of the material copied from St Francis Village News can be used here. He cannot release material to which he does not own the copyright. The source is clearly marked:
Note also, any material on his website or used in liner notes that was previously published on Wikipedia is a violation our terms of use unless he explicitly states on those pages that the material was taken from Wikipedia. Having said all of that, the material in question is so promotional and unencyclopedic that it would require heavy editing to ensure compliance with our policies on neutral point of view and verification. – Voceditenore (talk) 10:05, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
