Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

The Sound Collage[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Sound Collage, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://sbeyer.com/artist/the-sound-collage.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Hello,

I am very confused about the way this whole thing works. I was advised to get a wikipedia for my vocal band The Sound Collage. I gave my definition, that I wrote about my group. I use it on my website on my " about us" section. One of my agents copied it from my website and put it on his section describing my band. I was told it would have a "speedy deletion" due to copy write issues. The definition is my definition of my band in my words. I have informed my agent, Steve Beyer, he needs to take down my definition until I can get this resolved. Please advise how I can get my bands description on wikipedia and who I need to talk with to explain that this is no copy write issue, as it is all my words. I was told it said "click here to contest speedy deletion, but I do not see where that is located. Thank you

Speedy deletion nomination of The Sound Collage[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Sound Collage requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://sbeyer.com/artist/the-sound-collage. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You were badly misadvised. Wikipedia articles are about topics which have already established notability. We are not here for publicity or "getting out the word" about an "up-and-coming Next Big Thing". See the harsh but honest article, "Nobody cares about your garage band" to see a compendium of ways in which bands get it all so very wrong. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:44, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That would make a lot of sense if this were a "garage band." However, it is a well established group opening a showroom in Las Vegas and performing all around the world. ;)
