This is the talk page of User:CrnaGora, formerly User:Dbalic.
Copyrighted lyrics
In your edit to Sean Paul - We Be Burnin', you wrote:
- Lyrics provided by User:CrnaGora. These lyrics are copyrighted and are allowed to be released into public domain.
That's not normally the case with copyrighted works, particularly in the case of commercially released songs. Without proof that the copyright holder has either explicitly released this work into the public domain or licenced it under the GFDL, I'm just going to have to assume that copying these lyrics is against Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. Absent that proof, could you please desist from copying entire copyrighted works into articles? -- The Anome 02:34, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I see that you have replaced the lyrics again, this time with a request that they not be removed. Please don't do that; can you please read the copyright policy again before adding lyrics to any article? -- The Anome 02:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I've reverted the lyrics... we don't necessarily have permission to copy them even if they're displayed on the singer's website. Also, the song should not be titled "Sean Paul - We Be Burnin'", this isn't in accordance with Misplaced Pages naming standards. "Sean Paul" isn't part of the song's title. -- Curps 02:58, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
CrnaGora; I see that you have stated:
- Lyrics provided by User:CrnaGora. These lyrics are copyrighted and are allowed to be released into public domain. The lyrics are also available on Sean Paul's official site and that would be proof that they are copyrighted work relesed into public domain.
That is not evidence of release into the public domain; allowing you to make viewing copies (which copyright holders can do at their sole discretion) is not the same thing as granting you a licence to make further copies. Please read the articles on copyright, contract law, and licence for more information on how copyright works; and please read public domain as well -- the term has a special meaning in copyright law that is different from just "available to the public". -- Karada 03:29, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- You wrote on We Be Burnin': "Lyrics provided by User:CrnaGora. These lyrics are copyrighted and are allowed to be released into public domain. The lyrics are also available on Sean Paul's official site. I asked the copyright holder if I can have the lyrics for We Be Burnin' and if I can post the lyrics on Misplaced Pages and he said I can under one condition, nobody edit the lyrics for the song since I told him that in Misplaced Pages, articles can be edited." I have a very hard time believing this, as most song lyrics are copyrighted and all text contributions on Misplaced Pages (apart from very small extracts of copyrighted works) must be licensed under the GFDL. If the person who spoke with you said that the lyrics could only be used on Misplaced Pages, then this is not compliant with Misplaced Pages's aim to create a "free" encyclopedia that anybody can distribute. Anyway, I merged the We Be Burnin' page to The Trinity (album) as both articles were stubs. Extraordinary Machine 00:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Your RfA
Hi there, I would like to point out to you that most users who participate in the RfA process tend to perfer active contributors with a greater amount of edits and Misplaced Pages project particiaption. Your contributions are insufficient for people to draw any conclusions about you and your ability with respect to the project (see other users' standards here, what RfA contributors look for, and your edit review). I do recommend you withdraw your request for now, and become an active Misplaced Pages participant for a few months before trying for a future RfA. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. — TheKMan 00:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
