Possible copyvio (and POV at that)

Most of this content is a duplicate of both http://www.maarifastreet.com/biography.html and http://www.jonhassell.abelgratis.co.uk/HTML/bio.html (one seems to be a copy of the other and I'm not sure which is original). There is nothing on either website concerning copyright, terms of use, etc. Therefore I am reverting to 212.219.18.20's next-to-last edit (the last one being the addition of the content in question). Unless someone can show that s/he has permission to put this on Wikipedia (or is the original author of this content), I am assuming this violates someone's copyright. In any case the content is highly POV and would need to be rewritten. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 04:44, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I am editing this entry at the moment, the material stated here will be incorporated into the new version, so I hope the copyright problem goes away. I'm not the person who put this in here originally, by the way. -- Risher 07:02, 13 Aug. 2007

Ok, I edited the page, I just got a nice basic form which can be filled out with, for example, Hassell's jazz influence (especially Miles Davis), more information after Vernal Equinox (I skimped on it, as I don't really a lot about him after around 1989, except for a few random things I dug up). -- Risher 08:38, 13 Aug. 2007

I think I had removed the copyright infringement at an earlier point, but I must have forgotten to leave a note, sorry about that. Thanks for your efforts. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: Terry Riley first recorded In C in 1964, not 1968. This will require rewriting that section, but uncertain as to how to proceed as I do not know the facts of his relationship with Riley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.108.31 (talk) 23:53, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unattributed statements of fact

A tiny point compared with copyvio, but this para is unattributed and conflicts with the article on album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts: "Plans had been made with Eno and David Byrne for the three of them to team up for what became "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," but the plan fell through when Hassell didn't agree with the direction the tracks were taking." The other article gives a completely different reason for Hassell's non-participation. Sworked (talk) 18:19, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
