[edit] Cunt?

so where does it say the word Cunt on the front cover ? I have looked all over my copy of Incesticide and it does not say Cunt.

Although I have to say Kurt cobain may have been a bit of a C**t by releasing some of Nirvana's best songs on an odds and sods record of rareties and b-sides.

It's not a printed word. It's how the larger figure's limbs are positioned on the cover. The right forearm and hand holding the flowers form the C. The curved thighs form the U. The diagonal right calf along with any of the crossing vertical parts form the N. Finally, the left forearm (horizontal) and calf (vertical) cross to form the T. --jh51681 08:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't find anyone on Google even commenting on seeing the word, let alone evidence that Kurt deliberately drew it in. So I changed the statement to say he did do the painting, but that the word is hypothetical. Rpresser 08:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

well i can't really see "cunt" at all. if you smoke some crack and cross your eyes over maybe?

i added a picture to the page wit hit highlighted to show it, but somebody removed it. It is clearly there, in the bones. Violask81976 21:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia guidelines explicitly forbid the inclusion of conjecture or personal discovery. If it can't be cited from a reliable source, it cannot be included in the article. See: WP:OR, WP:V, and WP:RS. -- ChrisB 18:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
What'sa bigger citation then the album art itself?
You can't cite album art. If you see something in a piece of art, that is your opinion. The opinion is not itself contained in the piece of art. If someone of note asserted it, then the citation needs to be to the person who made the assertion, and that person's statement must meet Wiki guidelines: WP:A (particularly WP:RS and WP:OR). I don't see that any of that applies here. -- ChrisB 01:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] meaning

I should like to know what the word "Incesticide" actually means

Nothing. It's a portmanteax of incest and insecticide, so is a rather nasty thing if it did exist. ;). Morwen - Talk 17:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you could really call it nasty if the intent is to destroy incest in the same manner that insecticide destroys insects. Still, not pleasant subject matter. — TheJames 21:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
This might be getting nit-picky, but is it really a portmanteau? It doesn't carry the meaning of the original words, since it's never ued in context. I think it's just a play on words, since the new word really has no meaning at all. --In Defense of the Artist 15:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of the Mark Goodier BBC Session

The CD itself apparently claims that the 3 Goodier BBC tracks are from November 1991. I'm willing to bet that that's a typo. I'm guessing those recordings are really from late 1990, since all 3 of the songs date from that period. Is anyone able to verify the true date of the session? Thanks.

You can find the recording dates for each song on the album here: [1], and details about the Goodier session (November 9, 1991) here: [2]. --jh51681 05:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Those Miti Adhikari quotes convince me that the date is correct.Alcuin 19:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:IncesticideInUtero.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.

[edit] Red Links

Again, I have spotted red links. These are links to the articles "Turnaround" and "Teriyaki...". Please, would somebody create a good article?. And help in erasing red links, or at least creating the article for the "red links" —Preceding unsigned comment added by MXER (talkcontribs) 18:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
