Fair use rationale for File:Choir-KangarooCassette.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Choir-KangarooCassette.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 07:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Loudest Sound Ever Heard single

You've added the artwork for the single. Thanks. You need to add some prose to describe it otherwise it doesn't qualify for fair use. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:14, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is already prose in the article that references the single and its release date. Is there anything additional you think is required? TARDIS (talk) 03:10, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 3-Song "Rough Mix" New Song Sampler

The article 3-Song "Rough Mix" New Song Sampler has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A non-notable EP. Does not meet WP:NALBUMS. Content could easily be merged into the associated album.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Live – Big Music Tour 2015

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Live – Big Music Tour 2015, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://flacmania.info/5780-simple-minds-live-big-music-tour-2015-2015.html.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

January 2016

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Live – Big Music Tour 2015 (Simple Minds live album) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Member timelines

I was on the project that introduced them and I can assure you that standalone lists, like list of Genesis band members, are quite different than embedded lists. For instance, Three Days Grace#Members has repeatedly had their timeline removed as membership has been ridiculously simple. Similarly, U2#Band members, Talking Heads#Members and others are void of one. However, if you are going to create a timeline in the article, follow the examples from The Rolling Stones#Band members, Korn#Band members, and others. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:29, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When I look at the Korn#Band members example, it's even simpler than the one I created. Can you explain the difference as to why standalone lists are different from embedded lists? Is there a project page you can point me to that provides more information? TARDIS (talk) 06:34, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for assistance on Christian rock album

Hey, sorry to make a random request of you out of nowhere - I'm getting back into a long-running quest to try and improve coverage of Third Day's Conspiracy No. 5 album - it's the only time the band verged into grunge/post grunge, and is a personal favorite of mine. The review front has kind of been a struggle - according to CMNexus, it had reviews in HM, 7ball, CCM, and Charisma, but as far as I can tell none of these were archived or viewable online. Specifically, one of the sources I'm looking for is 7ball magazine's September/October 1997 issue, which has both a feature on the band ("Taylor-Made Growth" by Chris Well) and a review of the album from Beth Blinn.

Anyway, I've done some digging trying to find it and noticed you added information from the same issue (September/October 1997) to the article on [Free Flying Soul https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Free_Flying_Soul&diff=1235326598&oldid=1220902976] - so I was wondering if you presently had access to the issue and were willing to share some scans of the relevant sections, or if you knew of some other way to access it.

Please let me if there's any way you can assist. Toa Nidhiki05 16:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help! A number of 7ball issues are archived at the Internet Archive, and this issue can be found here: https://archive.org/details/7ball-14/7ball%2014%20small/ (Sadly, an issue with an in-depth interview with the Choir is NOT archived. Sigh.) TARDIS (talk) 01:56, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Finding CCM Magazine issues, particularly post-2000, are near impossible. CCM Magazine used to archive them online, but no more, and getting ANYONE via the website or their Facebook page to reply is futile. I've had better luck with HM's search engine, but that is hit and miss. There are sellers on eBay that carry some of these mags, but it can get expensive, especially with Cornerstone back issues. TARDIS (talk) 02:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's perfect for 7ball - thanks so much! This is a huge help.

It's a real shame it's so hard to find access to CCM, especially with how their charts were so important. I actually have a database folder with all charting songs on all their charts, but the interviews and whatnot are also super important and borderline impossible to find. I actually did find a lot of their early-2000s issues online - I think they're cited on some MercyMe articles - but yeah. Supposedly there's some libraries with volumes of these old magazines, but none of them are nearby and a lot of them are at private colleges. It's a wasteland. Toa Nidhiki05 03:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just downloaded (for only $0.99!) the ebook Classic Christian Hits: Christian Rock (1983-2002), which sorts all the CCM Rock Charts for all artists during that time: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W19LXDT/ref=kinw_myk_ro_title

It's only the Rock charts for singles, not albums, but perhaps that will be helpful. TARDIS (talk) 05:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that book has some inaccuracies - or at least the artists aren't aligned with songs frequently. I can shoot over the database file if you'd like. It has the chart dates and weeks, so the songs can at least be cited to CCM publication dates. Also has all the chart positions for the (very short-lived) Metal chart, which was for a few years in the early 90s. Toa Nidhiki05 20:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I discovered some of that mismatching in there, but because I know the artists and their material, I was able to match them up properly. I would love to see the other resource. Feel free to send when you can. TARDIS (talk) 20:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a Google Drive link. Been a while since I used this, but I re-formatted it as an Excel file at some point, and it has both yearly charts as well as "Master" tables for genres ("M" is Metal, "R" is Rock, etc.) Toa Nidhiki05 21:09, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is awesome! I see you put a lot of work into this. How do I know the CCM Magazine publication dates? Coordinate the weeks with the bi-monthly issues? TARDIS (talk) 01:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it's not my work (although I did organize the Master charts) - but thanks! The chart dates should line up with CCM Update issue dates - biweekly began in 1986 and weekly in 1992 (per the Jeffrey Lee Brothers book Hot Hits), so once you get to 1992 it syncs with every weekly issue. Toa Nidhiki05 02:04, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh... CCM Update, of course. Thanks for the confirmation. TARDIS (talk) 16:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! Two more things - I actually found a library that might be amenable to CCM Magazine requests. Carson–Newman University has a large collection of issues, and I reached out about getting a scan of an article review from one of them - they said they'd be willing to do it! They're physically in Johnson City, Tennessee and let visitors browse their library for free, so if you're in that range it might be easier to visit. So if you're having trouble finding an issue online, it's possible they'd be able to help. Toa Nidhiki05 18:13, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is great news! Let me reach out to them, too. Thanks! TARDIS (talk) 22:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
