[edit] MySpace link

I removed it because of WP:EL it says there should not be links to myspace un less it is in reguard to the site its self. ie linking to someones myspace page should be avoided. I also removed it because MySpace can be extreamly harmful to computers (the recent computer virus and other things ) and it is un encyclopedic.

It says they generally should not be linked to. You put in your edit summary that you were removing it as it was "unverifiable;" I disputed that, as it is listed on his official website. I would definitely delete it if it were a fan-made MySpace, which I believe is largely the reason for the rule of thumb regarding them, but it is not. -Shannernanner 12:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

may I also point out that if a user wants they can go to the offical page and get to it. Another key issue with MySpace is that the whole system has security issues and can harm users. Just recently the site made United States news headlines for the fact that they were infected with a virus and the site has been known to have other issues. Im not anti-MySpace but the link doesnt need to be there i can see more harm than good coming from it. Also the term generaly was refering to most group pages as "unless mandated by the article itself" per Wikipedia:External links policy and the link is not mandated.

Yes, the phrase is "should generally not be linked to unless mandated by the article itself," which means that in general it is fine to link them if "mandated by the article itself," but generally should not be otherwise (meaning that there are exceptions), as I said. I'm not really sure what the fact that the site has had viruses before has to do with anything, unless you wish to recommend to Wikipedia that they delete every MySpace link for risk of infecting users' computers, as many articles use MySpace links legitimately. I'm not deadset against removing the link, but so far I have not seen any reason to do so. -Shannernanner 07:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] XPN

I believe Amos Lee was WXPN's artist of the year for '06, but I've been having difficulty running down a source. 66.109.248.114

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Amos Lee album.jpg

Image:Amos Lee album.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 17:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Supply and Demand.jpg

Image:Supply and Demand.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Use of songs "Sympathize" was used on the TV series "Brothers and Sisters", in the episode "All in the family". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.45.121 (talk) 11:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
