:Thanks. The fair-use claim for the image is a little questionable (but I won't say anything if you won't). The image should be fine. The CMT.com source, on the other hand, is identical to the ''All Music Guide'' source that I had [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cal_Smith&diff=50945144&oldid=50896726 cited]. Presumably CMT.com has permission to use the text on its site, but they don't do a very good job of acknowleging the original publication or passing on its copyright information. Anyway, Wikipedia won't be able to legally keep the exact text from CMT.com, since it is in fact copyrighted by the book's publisher. The source does provide some good information, though. And, of course, information yearns to be free. So, we can indeed use information from CMT.com if we present it in an original context and properly cite its source. For now, I'll keep the changes you made to the discography and the image, but I'm going to have to remove the copyrighted text. I don't want to give the impression that I'm trying to [[WP:OWN|own]] the article. (I'm actually thrilled that someone else has found an interest in it.) However, we don't want to violate an copyright laws. Thanks. I hope you understand. --[[User:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#CD6600;">Tantalum</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">T</span>]][[User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza|<span style="color:#008000;">e</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">lluride</span>]]<sup>[[User:TantalumTelluride/WikiProject Country Music|<span style="color:#000000;">♪</span>]]</sup> 02:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

#::Glad you like my George Jones stuff! When I made my first edit to it in the summer of 2005 it was a very short article. And, of course, most of the new stuff has come from you -- keep up the great work! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 18:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

#:::Thanks for all the song info, but I'm afraid that the formatting problems are beyond me. It would be just as much work to put in all the || and so forth, and move things around, as it will be to just type in the songs little by little. It's a little like trying to put into correct, and colloquial English, something that has been written in English by someone who speaks it well but doesn't write it perfectly. It's almost more work to make the corrections and rewrite his well-meaning but sometimes mysterious sentences than it would be to simply write the whole damn thing yourself. I just did this with the article on [[tarte flambée]] and it's very tedious.... [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 23:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

== [[Super Hits (George Jones album)]] ==
Looks great! Be sure to put the source of the image ([[:Image:George Jones Super Hits.jpg]]) on the image description page. If you got it from a website, the web address should be enough information. Since it is an album cover, it almost certainly qualifies as fair use. Thanks again. --[[User:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#CD6600;">Tantalum</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">T</span>]][[User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza|<span style="color:#008000;">e</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">lluride</span>]]<sup>[[User:TantalumTelluride/WikiProject Country Music|<span style="color:#000000;">♪</span>]]</sup> 03:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
== Image uploads ==
When you upload images, you just need to put the web address of the source on the image summary page. And if you know the copyright status, you can add the appropriate tag. If you're not sure about the copyright status, just list the source so that others can determine the copyright status. Most of the images that you have uploaded so far appear to be promotional photos and album covers, which qualify as fair use and can be kept on Wikipedia if you just supply the source information. It would be a shame to lose all of these images you've uploaded because they don't have sources. Let me know if you need help. Thanks. --[[User:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#CD6600;">Tantalum</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">T</span>]][[User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza|<span style="color:#008000;">e</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">lluride</span>]]<sup>[[User:TantalumTelluride/WikiProject Country Music|<span style="color:#000000;">♪</span>]]</sup> 15:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
== Johnny PayCheck Update ==
I've removed the copyrighted text from the [[Johnny PayCheck]] article. Unfortunately, there isn't much information left in the article concerning the later part of his career. For example, there probably needs to be a little more information about his criminal record. It would be great if you could add some more to the article, but be sure that it's not copyrighted text. It's usually best to use your own words, because most websites are copyrighted and present information in an unencyclopedic tone. Don't worry about it if you don't have time to deal with it. I just thought I should let you know. Thanks. --[[User:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#CD6600;">Tantalum</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">T</span>]][[User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza|<span style="color:#008000;">e</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">lluride</span>]]<sup>[[User:TantalumTelluride/WikiProject Country Music|<span style="color:#000000;">♪</span>]]</sup> 19:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
== WikiProject Country Music ==
We're getting nowhere on the [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject/List of proposed projects|list of proposed wikiprojects]]. In fact, it looks like projects are usually more successful when they skip that stage in the process. The best way to get people to join topical projects seems to be tagging article talk pages with templates that say "This article is part of WikiProject [Whatever]." I've noticed that one of the most successful WikiProjects is the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history|military history project]], so I'm going to use it and some of the projects I've been working on as "role models" as I build up the country music project. Soon I will make some templates and then we can try to recruit some more members. --[[User:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#CD6600;">Tantalum</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">T</span>]][[User:TantalumTelluride/Esperanza|<span style="color:#008000;">e</span>]][[User talk:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#000080;">lluride</span>]]<sup>[[User:TantalumTelluride/WikiProject Country Music|<span style="color:#000000;">♪</span>]]</sup> 19:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

== Copyright problems ==
Unfortunately, your new article, [[T. Graham Brown]], is a copyright violation. You can't keep copying copyrighted text from other websites. Instead, you should use reliable websites as sources and write Wikipedia articles in your own words. You can read [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] for more information about Wikipedia's policy and the law.
I'm also concerned about some of your recent edits, such as those to the [[Richard Nixon]] article and [[User talk:NoPetrol]]. You might want to go back and reread those pages linked in the welcome message at the top of this page. Remember to do tests in the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]], always [[Wikipedia:Civility|remain civil]], and [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|never make personal attacks]].
Finally, I strongly encourage you to change the content of your [[Wikipedia:User pages|user page]]. The lyrics are copyrighted, and they don't do much to help maintain an encyclopedia. Perhaps you could put up some information about the type of work you like to do on Wikipedia. For example, you could list some of your contributions. And if you know any other languages or have any other special abilities that might be helpful to other users, you could put that on your user page. Thanks. --[[User:TantalumTelluride|<span style="color:#CD6600;">Tantalum</span><span style="color:#000080;">Telluride</span>]] 18:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
:Please note that I have also blanked the [[Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash]] article and listed it as a copyright violation, since the entire text was copied verbatim from their bio at [[All Music Guide]]. If you would like to write a new article, please do so at a [[Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash/Temp|temporary subpage]]. Thanks. -[[User:Big Smooth|Big]] ''[[User talk:Big Smooth|Smooth]]'' 23:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
== Impersonation ==
I was looking through your contribs to see if you had added other copyrighted info, and I ran across your edits to [[Talk:Dave Matthews]], specifically [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ADave_Matthews&diff=57780049&oldid=51393505 here] where you sign your post as [[User:Bbatsell]]. Please note that impersonating other editors on Wikipedia is regarded (at the very least) as a severe violation of [[WP:EQ|Wikiquette]] if not a [[WP:ATTACK|personal attack]], and could get you blocked or banned from editing if you continue. Please be sure to [[Wikipedia:Civility|remain civil]] as mentioned by [[User:TantalumTelluride]] above, and sign your posts as your own.
