Wikipedia takes copyright violations in articles very seriously and so does WikiProject Opera. The guidelines below must be observed. Editors who fail to do so will quickly bring themselves into disrepute. At the very least your edits will be reverted, and in some cases whole articles deleted. Persistent violation will lead to blocking. Don't steal other people's work. We're not in a race here. Better an honest stub, or no article at all, than one which violates copyright.
