I've started a BeBop Deluxe page. I'll link it to this one. Anyone want to fill in some details? I don't think it needs to be filled with lots of trivia; I don't know the rules on how trivial an entry is allowed to be. But I've noticed some very long entries about minor things. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force is incredibly detailed, and its longer than Jeff Beck's entry. Just sayin'. Steppenvalve 17:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! However, there is also a page at Be Bop Deluxe, so I've merged their content and altered your page so that it redirects to the other page. The group's name is spelled with a space between the "Be" and the "Bop" on my CD, so I think the other article needs to be the permanent one. I also altered the text to try to keep to NPOV standards.

- I couldn't find an entry on Be Bop Deluxe, so I created the new one. You are correct about the spelling. I thought I tried them all. I don't know how to do this, but is it posible to create entries for every misspelling and link them to the original article? Sometimes Be-Bop is hyphenated in the press, sometimes part is in capitals, e.g. "BEBOP deluxe" (no space) on the cover of their live album. I don't know if all this is necessary, but if I'd found the original page I wouldn't have created a new one. Thanks again, Ahkond. Steppenvalve 03:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it is possible to create those other pages; they're called "redirect" pages and I altered your article for BeBop Deluxe so that it would work that way when I made my changes. I also created another for Be-Bop Deluxe at that time because it seemed like a good idea. Try to go to those articles and you will find yourself re-routed to Be Bop Deluxe automatically. You can read about redirect articles in the Help section, here (feel free to create more if you think of any other likely misspellings). I think the reason you didn't find the one for "Be Bop Deluxe" in the first place was that it didn't exist yet; yours was first (sorry I didn't grasp this previously). However I still think that that should be the "real" article and the others should point there. Ahkond 14:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- I just found another Be Bop Deluxe page @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_bop_deluxe . Only difference in the links is the capital letters. Dunno what to do about that. I'll look it over and see if I can merge it, but it was started by the same guy that started the other page mine was merged with.Steppenvalve 06:17, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- Good grief. Thanks. I've replaced it with a redirect because it was basically the same text as before (but with more spelling errors and opinions). Ahkond 15:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bill Nelson - Do You Dream In Colour excerpt.ogg
Image:Bill Nelson - Do You Dream In Colour excerpt.ogg 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.
