Reversion of Billboard text in Love the Way You Lie

Hi. You recently added to Love the Way You Lie the text "Eminem claims the Maistream Top 40 Greatest Gainer award for a second consecutive week, as "Love the Way You Lie" blasts 21-13 with 50% improvement in plays, according to Nielsen BDS. The rapper last registered the format's largest gain in back-to-back weeks with "When I'm Gone" in November 2005.", which I ended up removing again. I want to explain my reasons, of which there are three:

1. The citation you provided is inadequate as a verifiable reference, because it's too incomplete for any reader to use to look it up. If it's Billboard magazine, what issue number, what page was it on? If it's the Billboard Web site, where's the URL?
2. The paragraph is just gobbledygook to people outside of the music business, which means it's not only confusing jargon, it's also unhelpful to the readers (and therefore unnecessary in the article).
3. I did a Google search for some of that text, and found a URL with text which is virtually identical at Billboard's site. Copying and pasting copyrighted material into Wikipedia is a violation of one of our policies, so the material had to go.

I hope you will continue to contribute to WP. In future, please use complete reference citations when adding info, and avoid copying other people's work. Also, it would be great if you would start adding edit summaries when you edit. Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 11:01, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

July 2010

Your addition to Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Once again you have blithely pasted material from the Billboard Web site without even bothering to convert it into regular English for readers not trained in music-business jargon (you also omitted an edit summary again). Please take the time to follow the basic principles of Wikipedia, and rewrite useful material in your own words. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 23:14, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Block

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for sockpuppetry, multiple accounts. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
