Possible Copyright Violation

I did a major cleanup and overhaul of the layout of this page to make it wikified. I believe that the musician is a notable musician to include on Wikipedia. However, the original text appears to be exactly copied from the musician's official biography on his web-site: http://www.gregoryjohnson.com/biography.html. Unless it is the musician who posted this or he approves of it, this may be a copyright violation and needs to be assessed. --David Andreas 18:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you for doing the cleanup and making it wikified.

I am the musician Gregory B. Johnson and I wrote the biography on my web site. I also submitted it to Wikipedia. This is in my words and my story and my life.--Gregory B. Johnson 16:11, June 2007
