[edit] Stevie Ray Vaughan

I take your point on the photos - their copyright status is unknown as they appear randomly on the internet without attribution. But the description of Stevie's gear has no other proper place in Wikipedia and is a MAJOR topic of conversaiton among guitarists all the time. Googling Stevie Ray Vaughan yields numerous discussion threads of his gear and bringing together these sources into a definitive description was my goal here. I have "undone" your deletion, but removed the photos for now, although I think their fair use is appropriate here. --Scottie1492 (talk) 03:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I have uploaded new versions of the relevant gear photos with corrected copyright attributions. They match the copyright attributions in use for the prior, non-deleted, images in this article as well as the attributions in five other articles on rock guitarists that I checked to see how its done. Based on this I think the photos should now stay. Thanks. --Scottie1492 (talk) 04:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Epiphones, references & so on

thanks for opening up the Epiphone reference section - that site you gave me the link to is what i was going to cite, hoping very much that it isn't deemed unacceptable since it's technically a "personal site". the rules here about what needs references and what references are allowed are pretty baffling to me, i admit - for example why does the fact that Brian Jones used Firebirds and an ES-330 require a source, when there are dozens of photos all over the place of him using those instruments?? and so on ... but i'll go ahead with the Epiphones. meanwhile: i don't really know anything about Lennon's Gibsons, sorry! it's an age of specialists, and i'm pretty much a full-time Keith-spotter.

also ... i just ran into another instance where i wanted to add a reference to an article that has that "this cites no references" label. can you teach me how to do that, or point me to the instructions? maybe it would be worth discussing with the "wikipedia higher-ups" whether this process can't be simplified - as it is it discourages people who come along with references they could add, which seems counterproductive. maybe at least a link to instructions for "activating" a reference list could be included in that "no references" label?
