Interview

I've added a link to an interview I recently did with Machajdík as an additional citation, given the article lacks citations. However, obviously I have a COI in my own interview, so could others consider whether it's an appropriate addition? Thanks. Bondegezou (talk) 15:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation

I've removed most of the text of this article as it appears to be a direct copyright violation of the website of the subject. We really need some independent reliable sources to verify the notability of this composer. --Deskford (talk) 16:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Attention

Wikipedia:Single-purpose account!!! Not reliable and respectable. They want to do promotion for Machajdik.--94.219.3.62 (talk) 14:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right, and I notice the same user has been adding similar material to the articles on the German, Italian and Slovak Wikipedias. I have marked the article with concern tags, and will inform the user of Wikipedia conflict of interest policy. --Deskford (talk) 14:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
