It seems that on 4 December 2006 an anonymous IP editor pasted in the conductor's biography from the Jeffrey James Arts agency site. Whilst the article has undergone multiple minor edits since then, it remains essentially a close paraphrase of the original, verging on a copyright violation. To revert to the pre-copyvio version would be to throw away years of editing, and would leave a mere stub of an article. Any ideas on how best to proceed? --Deskford (talk) 11:55, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The copyvio problem could be resolved through more drastic paraphrasing, but the underlying problem is that the entire article actually derives from this single source, and it is not acknowledged. I made a quick check of the usual resources (Oxford Music Online, RILM, OCLC) with no useful result—lots of recordings, but not a single article. A search of the major newspapers might turn up some useful material, such as interviews, which could then be used to supplement or replace portions of the article. This would allow the paraphrased material to be more gracefully sourced. (At least it would avoid referencing each and every paragraph with the identical source!) Someone has evidently already tried to do this, but the results are very weak. There are some "buttonholing" phrases in the text that ought to be removed, such as the one loudly inviting readers to visit a website (surely the website link belongs in the "External links" section, without the touting).—Jerome Kohl (talk) 15:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above: I've made a start. See what you think. There's still a lot more to be done.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 15:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A good start, but I don't think it would get past the copyvio police just yet. --Deskford (talk) 00:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did say there is a lot more still to be done. At least the way it now stands, there are demands for source citations for most of the material that presumably comes from that one website (I have deliberately not visited it, in order to remain as aloof as possible). Certainly most of the wildly ecstatic claims (a la Russe, as they say) have now been brought down to earth.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
