Investigation of potential copyright issue edit

I called up this page and saw the warning - > The previous content of this page or section has been identified as posing a potential copyright issue, as a copy or modification of the text from the source(s) below

No doubt the texts are very similar. Artists, or their managers, regularly produce publicity sheets, often used as press releases, totally free of copyright restrictions, which would prevent the whole purpose of the material. They are produced in the hope that they will be widely used, quoted from. I support a soprano, and when she sings in Scarborough the local press there will most likely quote from her sheet of notes; when she appears in Boston, the press there is likely to come up with a very similar article, using the same or a similar information sheet that she has sent. Here, a publicity sheet has very likely been used as a basis for both the www.operavivra.com feature and the Wikipedia article. Both cover similar ground, so similarity of parts or all is unsurprising, indeed almost unavoidable. The suggestion of copyright infringement is without merit.

He's had enough exposure that if someone had the time, they could easily write original text. -kosboot (talk) 18:22, 28 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Indeed. But since the text is completely innocent, there is no reasonable requirement. Roy Lewis (talk) 18:57, 28 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
My sentiments exactly. In how many different ways can one enumerate a career? Text like "has performed in many opera house ...", "has performed at ...", is admittedly plodding prose, but it's not a "creative work" that could possibly be subject to copyright. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:43, 29 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
The first paragraph on philantrophy is largely exactly the same as in the source given about the trust. Unfortunately, infringement of copyright is not a question of interpretation or intentions, as suggested by some of the comments above, but a legal issue that WP editors are bound to respect and is one of the basic demands. - So this paragraph must be rephrased in order to protect WP from legal trouble. For anyone knowledgeable about the subject, this sould not be too difficult. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:47, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
