Comments

Material from http://www.mandeladay.com/, http://vimeo.com/mandeladay and http://www.flickr.com/photos/mandeladay/ has been released under the terms of CC-By and can be imported to Wikipedia and relicensed accordingly under CC-By-SA 3.0. However, the version of the article that existed before also duplicated extensively material from other sites not licensed for re-use, including http://www.tribecafilminstitute.org/taa/press/ and http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/creative/news/e3i70172e607ddc1be9f31e90e46f0efcf4 (I could find no sign that the latter originated at mandeladay.com). A new article can be created utilizing text from mandeladay.com, but the former text is not appropriate because of the incorporation of material from other sites. Contributors are reminded that self-published sources are usable to add detail, but that material taken from them may often not be neutral enough for Wikipedia's purposes. Even though this seems to be a good cause that is well worthy of promotion, promotion is not our purpose. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update

Hello! I'm planning to make the following massive update to this page. I'd appreciate constructive feedback and also advice on how to incorporate the information on the redirect that is currently in place. Thanks! Eeness (talk) 22:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Eeness[reply]

At a glance, you appear to have directly copied and pasted various passages from the sources you used. Many of these sources are copyrighted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Remember, you may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:04, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I template blanked the page as all the paragraphs I randomly picked and googled showed that they were verbatim copied from other webpages. That leaves the impression to me that the whole text and not only the randomly picked paragraphs violates the copyright of others. 76.117.1.254 (talk) 16:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Song

I removed the material about the pop song from this page. The song pre-dates and is completely unrelated to the event which is the topic of this page. Roger (talk) 12:06, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"See also" list

The list has become excessively long, with many items having little to no connection to the actual subject. It needs to be pruned. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:15, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
