[edit] Criticisms

Definately needs to be a criticisms section. V Festival has a reputation for being soulless, sanitised, expensive and overly commercial. It has been in the news for confiscating water from festival-goers and forcing them to buy own brand water for £2+ a bottle. 2007 saw 8 hour queues to get on site and 2-3 hour queues just to leave the carpark afterwards. Of course this all amounts to hearsay and would need to be linked to various reports and articles online. Vorpaul 11:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Virgin brands

swapped around the category from Virgin Radio to Virgin Group. The former isn't really a category, so I stuck it into "see also".

This article says the the first V Festival had a leg held at Leeds. I bleive this is wrong as the Northern Leg was held at Warrington, I was there.

[edit] Was this on ITV once?

Just wondering. Jimmy93211 80.229.241.200 16:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lists

There are a number of typos - incorrect capitalisation etc. - that need sorting.

But all these long lists with all that white space - we need to tidy that up somehow.

What about linking to artists ? -- Beardo 14:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I have broken the list with subheadings for ease of editing. Some of the commentary looks like it may have been copied, though. -- Beardo 15:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gatecrashing

One of the scams when I went was finding someone who could slip off their wrist band, them staying inside the arena, someone else keeping their wristband on, taking the removed one out of the arena and giving it to someone waiting outside who would slip it on.

However, is this section entirely relevant? Spugmeister 15:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:V festivallgoo.jpg

Image:V festivallgoo.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.
