[edit] Source?

Eldritch has claimed that Steinman was only brought in to arrange the choral segments as the record company was uneasy to finance them otherwise - what is the source of this claim? It's definitelly doubtful (or out of context) as This Corrosion is credited to be produced solely by Steinman, and includes guitar solo by his session musician.

It's from an interview of Eldritch by this one music journalist... I'll see if I can pick it up somewhere so it can be referenced correctly. In any case yes, it does sound somewhat kooky seeing that Eldritch again used his services on Vision Thing album. - 194.89.3.170 13:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Record review

Re User:Beardo and your revert of my edits: the point isn't the lack of sources. First of all, this is meant to be an encyclopedia article, not a record review. A lot of the stuff I deleted is pure record review. I mean, "an erotic, post-apocalyptic reference to tidal floods after nuclear war[citation needed]. "an erotic, post-apocalyptic reference to tidal floods after nuclear war"? I'm sorry, but this is an encyclopedia, and that isn't acceptable encyclopedic content. You can't write up your own theories about what something might symbolize and just slap a "citation needed" tag on it to make it all right. I might as well insert a sentence like "the flood may also be seen as a manifestation of the sacred Invisible Pink Unicorn [citation needed]." Much more importantly, "often seen as" and "may be seen as" are pure weasel words. If Floodland is "seen as" the band's magnum opus, then someone somewhere must have said that, and you can reference it. If no-one has, it isn't acceptable to substitute weasel words for a source.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion excerpt.ogg

Image:Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion 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.
