[edit] Oboist

I believe that David Theodore was the principal oboist during the London Philharmonic Orchestra's recording of the soundtrack and added that on the page. Can anyone confirm or contradict this? He's a lucky guy, as in his orchestra he got to record many well-known oboe tunes (e.g. in Seal's Kiss from a Rose). However, as the "Gabriel's oboe" player he only seems referred to as "anonymous oboist".

As an aside, the sentence "Not as over-the-top as his well-known spaghetti Western scores, The Mission shows Morricone at his dramatic best." seems hillariously POV, but I suppose in articles on music this is hard to resist. Still, probably should be toned down. -Afasmit

Correction: according to Burges and Haynes in "The Oboe" ISBN 0-300-09317-9 the oboist was Joan Whiting, also of the London Philharmonic at the time. Afasmit 08:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Enniomision.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 04:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
