Hi ZO, and thanks for your note. I am happy to take another look to try and be more specific, but initially you may find WP:When to cite helpful. regards, Johnfos 21:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Zinc, album covers are generally only allowed on album pages. Everytime you use a nonfree image (like album covers), they have to meet each of the 10 criteria in Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. Album covers aren't allowed outside album pages because it fails criteria #8 (significance). See also Wikipedia:FU#Unacceptable images. The amount of copyrighted material has to be kept to a minimum. I know it doesn't do any harm, but it does go against the fair use policy. Spellcast ( talk) 22:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
It's been a long time. I'm sure you'll get a reply from the editor in question (and he'd already left a message on my talk page which you can read) but the basic point is about fair use of images. The rules have tightened up (way, way too far in the case of album covers in my humble opinion). You can only use non-free album covers if they have a fair use rationale attached and if they're being used in a non-trivial way to illustrate the album in question. So, you might be able to get away with one or two, provided they have rationales and are used in what the community considers to be a "fair" way. I thought Badfinger was fine but evidently somebody disagrees so if you want to keep some of the images you'll have to read the guidelines and implement their requirements.
If you want to see some real damage, look at what KLF Communications has become :( I find it ridiculous, but I'm in the minority (or in the silent majority, not sure which :)) -- kingboyk ( talk) 22:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm working on it. Are you still around? -- andreasegde ( talk) 15:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, but you are going to have reference this: "after previous involvement with bands, Indian Summer and Ross." The GA reviewer will pick up on it straight away. If you want me to to do it, just send me the web page, or book (with page number) that it came from. :)-- andreasegde ( talk) 23:23, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
