Talk:Love, Linda: The Life of Mrs. Cole Porter

I don't understand what was violated. We listed a published article in Playbill. I have removed it, however, so I hope you'll remove your notice/warning on the page. 150 Music (talk) 17:48, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Michele Oliver, 150 Music[reply]

What you violated was the copyright policy. Text in the article was copied from other sources. That cannot be--there is a big difference between "listing" and "copying". Removing the reference to Playbill doesn't help at all (and might make it worse); I note that the sentence "Although Cole Porter was gay, their companionship and love lasted through 35 years of marriage and together they lived a spectacular, glamour-filled life" is still "taken" from somewhere else (plagiarism = theft of intellectual property), as a quick Google search verifies. If you wish for this article to live, you will have to write it, not copy it. Hope this helps. Drmies (talk) 17:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
