Article overwritten by cut-and-paste of copyrighted material[edit]

When I created and expanded this article, I tried to keep it encyclopedic and to follow the Wikepedia style guidelines, hoping others would add details to the article. Edits on 08/28/2006 by User:Nappynewyear have replaced the entire article with material which has obviously been cut and pasted from the copyrighted material from the "Author's Bio & Family Photos" page of Ansa's official home page, Tina's Homepage. To me this seems to be violation of copyright protection and has made the article promotional. I'm a novice at this and don't know what steps shoudl be taken to rectify this. This concern has also been posted to Nappynewyear's talk page. Ronald W Wise 02:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should go ahead and revert, Ronald. Not only is this new version copyvio, it also violates WP:NPOV with a lot of opinionated language ("beautifully erotic," etc.). Your version was better, and more in keeping with WP. --Pagana 16:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Mr. Wise has reverted to his edit, and I've judiciously added some verbiage on Ms. Ansa's awards, and film in progress. It's now reading a lot more like an enyclopedic entry. --Pagana 18:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
