This article appears to be a direct copy from http://www.washington.edu/dxarts/profile_bio.php?who=brixey. As a copyright violation, Brixey, Shawn appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Brixey, Shawn has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:Brixey, Shawn.

It's really not a good idea to cut and paste from other websites, even if you wrote the copy on the other website. It's too easy to run afoul of WP:NPOV, WP:SPAM, and WP:COI. NawlinWiki 04:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
