Talk:Wonderful Radio London

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am creating this page while updating and expanding the entry for "Pirate Radio". In 1984 I interviewed Don Pierson for a radio broadcast and some of this material has now been published with my cooperation by Sibiu University Press under the authorship of Dr. Eric Gilder. I will be drawing upon this material and my lasting friendship with Don Pierson who turned over to me all of his official records concerning the creation of Wonderful Radio London and his other offshore radio stations: "Swinging Radio England" and "Britain Radio". I will also be creating page entries for these stations as time permits and linking them all through the "Pirate Radio" entry. MPLX/MH 21:30, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Why I removed the following item to this page

The Wonderful Radio London Story (Jumbo Records, UK, 1997) is a 3-CD audio documentary comprising narration, interviews and clips from programmes. It is now out of print but may be available secondhand.

This is a contested copyright issue. Please see the external link: http://radlon.bravehost.com/index.html

However, the contributor is in the legal position of being able to contribute this information from its original source, not the source cited above, due to the fact that some of the contested material - especially the exclusive interview with Don Pierson and a lot of documented material about the origin of the station, comes from Don Pierson archives in the legal possession of the contributor to this article and this is one reason why this information is now being made available for everyone by these contributions to "Wonderful Wiki"! By the way, I am also in the process of creating a Don Pierson biography on Wikipedia. I have not had time to complete it as of this date. MPLX/MH 00:32, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Done! - Ian Dunster 13:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I have added a picture of Don Pierson and other details which I intend to expand. Fragilethreads 04:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Yorke ambiguous?

The reference to John Yorke appears ambiguous. The Wikipedia article for John Yorke makes no mention of any involvement with pirate radio. Although it appears he is a BBC TV producer, so I am not sure if it is the same person or not. Does anybody know? Charles 20:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Radio London Ship - MV Galaxy.jpg

Image:Radio London Ship - MV Galaxy.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.
