Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion edit

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you.--jpgordon::==( o ) 20:41, 6 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sorry it has been so frustrating for you edit

I'm sorry you have been so frustrated in your attempts to help improve wikipedia. I am afraid that the rules we have had to bring in to protect us from vandals and spammers have made us rather rigid.

You are probably right to take a break from editting here and let things calm down. Concentrate on making sure the information pages on your own site have all the information we might need to improve our articles and leave it to someone else to add the information here.

You should put some more info about showbras on your site too - I couldn't even see when you started the business nor who you represent. Are there any interviews with you or Carmela? Hope I will see more of you later. filceolaire (talk) 15:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

No, there is not any Copyright violations edit

Dear Mr.JpGordon I was unfamiliar with the text you showed me. But what is important is the following, which makes this text authorial if it only reports an event. What I published is similar but not the same and only reports the information. The dates, where are the dates? Why cut them? What about information, almost a fact sheet, keep it as being copy is to act with absolutely maliciously, you sorry but again I notice that your intention to censor and prevent the flow of information is higher and is that mobilizes unfortunately. I published the dates of the events narrated and so absolutely unprecedented succession of facts without any adjectives that characterize a authored text. Frankly, it is inadmissible as a performance impregnated intolerance like yours. That everything will be in the annals the fight for freedom of information against this obscure behavior. I do not accept your arguments, which are unfair and without technical qualification, there is no copyright being injured.--Gill 08:03, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

You are simply wrong. Here is what you inserted in the article: Remarkably, this was the first time he had ever performed in that country. The shows were recorded from the sound boards on to DAT tapes for reference only, but Gilberto was so pleased with both the quality of the sound and his performance that he decided to release one of these landmark concert on CD. In Tokyo spotlights the September 12, 2003 performance at the Tokyo International Forum Hall. Joao returned in 2004 and again in November 2006. Here is the text from jazzreview.com: Remarkably, this was the first time he had ever performed in that country. The shows were recorded from the sound boards on to digital audio tapes for reference only, but Gilberto was so pleased with both the quality of the sound and his performance that he decided to release one of these landmark concerts on CD. In Tokyo spotlights the Sept. 12, 2003, performance at the Tokyo International Forum Hall. Oh, here's another thing it says on jazzreview.com: 1997 - 2012 © jazzreview.com. We take copyright very seriously here, and your complaints about "freedom of information" do not trump Wikipedia's copyright policies. Perhaps you didn't read underneath the edit box where it says, quite clearly, quite unambiguously, Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. I promise you, though, if you do this again your editing privileges will be revoked. --jpgordon::==( o ) 14:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dear Mr.JpGordon As I told you're avid for delete, to find a reason to justify their practice while I'm interested in putting in the encyclopedia information correct and true. The similarity between the texts is due only the quality of what they refer. You would be such inaugurating the copyright with your assessment of what is a copy. This is an event that should be narrated in the same manner as is the fact. Not copy, it is the fact! You want to be more realistic than the king, if you know what I mean, just because you want to delete, in their eagerness to disallow, to practice its censorship. But please I ask you a help. As you as mastery of your language and being a fan of Joao Gilberto, how would you say the same thing, since information is the fact so unless deleted by your reasons for? Can I ask you this help? They are just two sentences. Brazil and the world thank you in advance for supporting the entry Joao Gilberto, in my, in your, in our encyclopedia, free. Thank you very much.--Gill 15:32, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

The similarity between the texts is due only the quality of what they refer. What nonsense. The similarity between the texts is because one is copied directly from the other. No, at this point, I suggest you ask someone for assistance over at the Portuguese language talk page for Gilberto, since as far as I can tell, you are unable to understand what multiple people are telling you here on the English Wikipedia. Perhaps some experienced user there will be able to help you understand the difficulties you keep running into. --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:12, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

The real thing edit

Dear Mr. JpGordon This is an event that should be narrated in the same manner as is the fact. That is the sentence and it is not nonsense. Observe:

  1. This was the first time he had ever performed in that country.
  2. The shows were recorded from the sound boards on to digital audio tapes for reference only
  3. Gilberto was so pleased with both the quality of the sound and his performance
  4. In Tokyo spotlights the September 12, 2003 performance at the Tokyo International Forum Hall

What is these sentences? do you think someone may have copyright on these sentences? you attribute character to copy these sentences? are you being serious? you are being fair? Therefore it is absolutely legitimate for me to receive your contributions, and your colleagues from Wikipedia, as an expression of a particular New Censorship.--Gill 08:48, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
