Fair use images and cleanup

[edit]

I've removed the excess copyrighted fair use images again. There were far too many, and most of them (especially the music video screenshots) seemed to serve as nothing more than decoration. Per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, "The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible ... Do not use multiple images or media clips if one will serve the purpose adequately.", and "The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." Also, the images had no fair use rationale on their description pages. I think Luckett's debut album cover is enough.

Another thing is that this article needs a cleanup, and I've tagged it as such. Capitalisation in song and album titles needs to be brought in line with the naming conventions, and song titles shouldn't be in italics (e.g. "Get on the Bus" instead of Get On The Bus). In fact, every other word in this article is capitalised when it doesn't need to be ("Video Director", "Worldwide Sales" etc.). Please don't remove the tag again. Thanks.

Cant we atleast show the single covers?? All other artists have done that in their discography pages?!?!--Samfim 03:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I DONT AGREE. ALL ARTISTS USE ALBUM AND SINGLE COVERS ON THEIR PAGES. SINCERELY. IT IS RELEVANT TO PUT PIC OF MUSIC VIDEO AND BTW THOSE MUSIC VIDEO SCREENSHOTS ARE SOURCED. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.65.114.223 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 15 July 2006.

If other discography articles include images of every single and album cover and music video, then they shouldn't. As I've explained above, we should only use as few fair use images as possible and they should not be used for decorative purposes. It's not about sourcing; it's about fair use. Why are music video screenshots relevant here? You need to explain this on the images' description pages. Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~), do not leave messages in the middle of other people's posts and do not type in all caps, as it creates the impression that you are shouting.

Ok, i didnt say i wanted screenshots, just images of the album and single covers--Samfim 03:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

guys this extraordinary machine is vandalyzing the page. make sure to watch the page and revert as soon as he vandalise again. we know most discographies on wikipedia uses pictures so there's no point to take them of —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.65.114.223 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 16 July 2006.

  1. I am not vandalising the page. See Wikipedia:Vandalism for a definition of the term, and do not falsely accuse other editors of conducting it, as making personal attacks is frowned upon.
  2. I know that other discography articles have as many images as this one did; the point I'm making is that they shouldn't. If you say which ones have this many images then I'd be happy to remove them for the reasons I listed above, or you can remove them yourself. Extraordinary Machine 22:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Extraordinary Machine keeps deleting the single and album covers off the page, were aloud to have them arnt we?? --Samfim 03:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I we have the right to put those covers. He can't just delete them like that. However I'm not sure about the video screenshots. I never saw those on other discographies. (even tho it would be a good idea to put them on every artists discograhies; for example it would be interesting for michael jackson to see his evolution; how he changed lol; but for that we have to discuss that somewhere in wikipedia's line but I dunno where) So maybe we can compromise with him and say we keep the covers and maybe he can take the screenshot out. are you okay to take of the screenshots?--Letoyabrigade 03:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can remove the images; in addition to the reasons I listed above, none of them have fair use rationale on their description pages. I think a compromise more likely to comply with the fair use policy is to restrict the images to one per section, and then only if the images can fit without impacting the text and tables. Thoughts? Also, to the editor 66.65.114.223 (talk · contribs): please do not revert my edits wholesale. I added the cleanup tag for the reasons I have provided above, so please don't remove it until my concerns have been addressed. Also, your revert undid contributions I made that were unrelated to the images, such as fixing stylistic and formatting errors and typos. Thanks.

Vandalism

[edit]

Aside from reverting my removal of excess unfree images and converting of the tables to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Tables for charts-compliant "wikitable" format, anon editors are removing chunks of content from the article. This is vandalism. Extraordinary Machine 16:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Destiny's Child and other stuff

[edit]
  • Didn't we already resolve this when LeToya's stuff was on her main page? Why is Destiny's Child info included here? There is already a Destiny's Child discography page.... putting it all here is redundant and unnecessary. It should be removed. How stupid would it be to repeat the entire Beatles discography in the McCartney/Lennon/Harrison/Starr discographies? It makes no sense.
  • Also where are the sources for these supposed "unreleased" songs? I see one of them is available in the iTunes music store. How can it be legally available to purchase and unreleased?
  • Boldfacing of chart positions goes against the Wikipedia Tables for Charts guideline.
  • Song titles should be quoted, not boldfaced, per Manual of Style and WP:MUSIC. This is also a problem on Beyonce's discography page.

This page needs a cleanup. -- eo 18:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Solo Singles

[edit]

Someone needs to fix that. Usercreate (talk) 20:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Albums and Singles sections still need a major fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.237.78.91 (talk) 18:56, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
