Some comments:
1. The link you gave us, points to your H2G2 home page. You don't seem to have any other pages on record.
2. You *are* talking about Elvis Presley, not Elvis Costello, right?
3. Somehow, I doubt "Elvis: The Great Plagiariser" will meet the H2G2 editorial standards for impartiality. At least, change the title to "Elvis Presley and Plagiarism".

I can changer the title. Sure, I will!!! I didn't think that that would fly very well anyways. I'll change it ASAP. And yes, it's the King of Rock and Roll; not the King of Highly Diversified, Influential, 80's Music, and King of Burt Bacharach Duets. Well, I have heard some good Bacharach duets....

This article is not at all what the title suggests. Saying that the fret work of one song is identical to that on "Love Me Tender" hardly warrants the title given.
There are many, many more hours of research ahead for you. Many, many, many. Then, if you write the whole article in third-person and back it up with considerable evidence, maybe then it might have a small chance of being accepted.
There's a nugget of something here. A seed. Run with it.

AHA!!!! I think I finally made it less bias. I'm almost sure that the entry has reached full impartiality. Now, please edit it. I think that it's much better now... Thank you, once again.

To be brutally honest just changing the title of the article doesn't make the article any better. It's still in the first person and the content is not honestly very well formatted. Have you actually taken the time to read the Guidelines about putting articles together and submitting them? I think that it would be a good idea.
