[edit] Article for Jim James

Jim James? Someone write an article on him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.164.74.57 (talk • contribs)

[edit] UK or US English spellings?

I'm sure this has been discussed on many other disc. boards, but how does one determine whether one is to use the UK spelling of a word, or the US spelling, i.e. "favourite" as opposed to "favorite?"

---FoodRiot

It all depends on the subject being covered. In this case, My Morning Jacket are Americans and so the American English spellings should be used. Sadly. Dancarney 14:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] FAQ Section

I deleted the FAQ section, as it didn't look like Wikipedia material at all; some of the questions listed weren't even answered, some were totally irrelevant to an article about the band and not many were sourced. Some of that material could be worked into the article, but as it stands it just looked horrible.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The tennessee fire.jpg

Image:The tennessee fire.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 06:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coors Aspen Edge Triva

Without any citation, I wonder whether the following piece of Trivia should be removed from MMJ's listing:

"The song "Mahgeetah" appeared in a beer commercial in 2005. They had initially sold the rights to the song to Coors under the impression that it would be used for a Coors Light advertisement. Upon finding that the commercial had been released supporting the new Coors Aspen Edge, they donated every cent of the proceeds to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and swore to never do another commercial."

I can't find anything online to support this. Can anyone else? It seems like a pretty random thing, especially since it's puzzling--why would the band be ok with a Coors Light commercial but balk at Aspen Edge? And why donate to a diabetes foundation?
