[edit] Stolen from Ivor

"The first track reduced from the forthcoming Diamond Dogs album, “Rebel Rebel” was a rather unrepresentative sample of Bowie’s latest direction. " This is simply stolen from some review of rebel rebel. The whole article reads like a review. So,,, I'm culling it to NPOV (or as far as I can) and then having a waiting period for comments.

To our anonymous contributor, I suggest you cite your sources before accusing an earlier editor of stealing from a review. I happen to know that the editor who wrote that (not me in case you're wondering, but he's not been active on WP for a while) based his information on Nicholas Pegg's The Complete David Bowie, so while it may sound 'review-like' I'd be surprised if he took it from a review - unless you can prove otherwise. Certainly the wording can be improved - I will add some stuff myself shortly - but pls be prepared to back up accusations of plagiarism. Cheers, Ian Rose 05:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate Lyrics

Instead of 'Rebel Rebel', Bowie's original lyrics were "Barney Rubble". Sing along!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bowie RebelRebel.jpg

Image:Bowie RebelRebel.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 18:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale has since been added to the image in question. Cheers, Ian Rose 10:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
