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

Image:MadinaLakeEP.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 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 03:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Genre *sigh*

Happens with every modern band that's ever labled Emo, doesn't it? But Emo in a modern sense is not a genre, it's a fashion, an identifier (far too broad to be a genre) and an insult (whether or not you personally view "Emo" as a bad thing, many use it as an insult), the only definition of "Emo" that is a genre is "Emotional Hardcore" which Madina Lake are definetly not. 62.252.193.217 20:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes i have spoke to the band on several occasions and they definately reject the emo genre. So i do not think it would be good to label them as emo.

[edit] Screamo

Well I don't consider Madina lake to be screamo, but some might, considering that the singer does scream at least once or twice in nearly every song. What do you people think of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.65.47 (talk) 12:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Well these days most bands called "screamo" come under Post-Hardcore, they're more or less the same thing (in the modern sense). Best to just leave it.ScrabbitTheRabbit 17:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

They are definately not screamo just because a band screams on some songs does not make them screamo.

[edit] Sources

For what parts of the article are sources needed? There are no quotes in the article where would i place a source? Riverpeopleinvasion (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Almost all of the history is unsourced, save for one paragraph. —C.Fred (talk) 22:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Some of the things that need citing badly are all the dates in the History section .Joedamadman (talk) 23:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I added about 12 different references. Check them all out if you wish. If you need any more just say and i will find them. Riverpeopleinvasion (talk) 00:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The first and fifth paragraphs in the 'History' section are the only ones that still really need citations. Joedamadman (talk) 21:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

These keep getting changed. They are quite obviously post hardcore and pop punk, like similar bands. I can see the grunge style in them, even if it's not much it should be included. Why do they keep getting changed? Riverpeopleinvasion (talk) 12:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Their influence is grunge not hardcore so they are post grunge not post hardcore, the only post hardcore song they have is "Adalia"
