Copyright violation

CorenSearchBot is in error - material was sourced and referenced from publications in the public domain.

Unfortunately the text in this article consisted largely of a close paraphrase of the biography at the subject's own website (which is not permitted on Wikipedia unless permission has been granted by the copyright holder), together with copyright material copied from a review at Disability Arts online and the BBC review. I have rewritten to remove the copyright material. I have removed two refs, which was to self-published sources, replacing one with a reliable source. The statement that Clarke has topped the Shortlist 100 Best comedeians of 2009 list needs proper sourcing. I have removed the link to an article which just reasserted the claim and can find no mention of this poll on the ShortList website. I have removed promotional language from the article to bring it more into line with Wikipedia's neutral point of view guidelines. And I have removed external links to various social network site in line with Wikipedia's guidlines for external links.--CharlieDelta (talk) 08:45, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
