Married to Anna Karina

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Karina

The article to French New Wave actress Anna Karina links to Berry as her husband from 82-94, the year of his death. But that is not mentioned here, despite her iconic status in arthouse cinema. Is it the right Denis Berry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.217.134 (talk) 01:08, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is another Dennis Berry who is a film director. I have added a disambiguation note at the top of the article. — Xavier, 19:27, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not the same Dennis Berry! He was only ever married to my grandmother. I've slightly amended the disambig note to say "classical music composer" rather than "film score composer" as the bulk of his work was in light classical and big band jazz, way before he ever became involved in film work.

Sections

I went ahead and added section titles and another sentence to the introduction. I think that this article is interesting. I would like to see it expanded, if somebody has the resources to do it. Logophile 14:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I must agree it looks a lot better now. I didn't quite understand what you meant before, but now I can see it it makes a lot of sense. Thanks! As for expanding it, I've got a large list of productions in which his work has been used (mostly from PRS royalties); and I'll see what more I can learn about his working life.

Fair use rationale for Image:Trendy AlbumCover.jpg

Image:Trendy AlbumCover.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.
