[edit] Did Achinoam Nini study voice with Bobby McFerrin?
In a sentence I retained from the previous version of the article when I expanded it, there's the mention of the singer as a percussionist "rhythmically drumming on her own chest." This recalled to me something I believe I'd heard -- but have yet to authenticate -- from back over a decade ago (early or mid-1990s?), possibly in an interview in Israel, that Achinoam Nini had studied scat-singing with vocalist Bobby McFerrin, probably in New York. This isn't mentioned in her official website, and I couldn't find any reference to it in a Google search.
I'd appreciate assistance in verifying this, falling short of contacting A.N. herself. Personally, I'm notoriously reluctant to pester my culture heroes with prying questions -- figuring there may be some reason this point isn't mentioned, and I'm respectful where privacy is concerned.

- No idea here, but it was me that wrote about her percussion skills. I saw her in concert some years ago, when I was still single. She's gorgeous, so when she started drumming on her own chest, someone who looked remarkably like me, was heard commenting to his mates, "at last, I've found an instrument I want to play."Dweller 12:59, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New York early years; H.S. of the Performing Arts?
I'm restoring the mention (that was recently deleted from this article) of the artist's New York upbringing and education, to which she herself refers widely in interviews and in her songs (cf. "Wildflower" on "Noa and the Solis String Quartet: Live in Israel 28 April 2005").
However, I've been unable to authenticate what I can recall having heard: that before leaving New York, she had attended the High School of the Performing Arts. It comes up in Google hits, but not on sites familiar to me. Thanks, Deborahjay 21:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion of content by anonymous editor
User:83.58.113.95 performed a series of edits amounting to an extensive rewrite of this article. In doing so, considerable factual content from previous edits was deleted, without any discussion I can find. The amount of rewriting makes it difficult to revert in order to retrieve what was deleted -- nevertheless, I feel the restoration is justified. Comments, please! -- Deborahjay 22:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

- I also noticed this. I suggest you wait a day for them to explain and then revert to last good version. --Dweller 09:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Noa.png
Image:Noa.png 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.
