[edit] Misc

hello everyone

My name is dietje and from the beginning a fan of billy ocean's voice. one of the most intens voices i've ever heard. and the way he moves...music complete.

Sorry if my englisch is not that good I hope to find more of billy ocean.

my e-mail dietje_smit@hetnet.nl


This article is suspiciously close to the AMG profile of Billy Ocean. It's not word for word, but it's clearly written by someone who had read it.

[edit] Lives in Milton Keynes?

Strange how it doesn't get a mention anywhere except here and copies of here. Taken out.

[edit] Shenfield?

I'm a bit dubious about the Shenfield reference. Can anyone provide any citation to back that one up?

And the chart positions seem a bit US-centric for a UK-based artist. I'll probably go through later and augment the information with UK chart stats using my Guiness book, if nobody objects?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bocean.jpg

Image:Bocean.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. 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 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 03:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
