[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AckerBilk1.jpg

Image:AckerBilk1.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 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 16:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death?

Do we have a source for Acker having died today, as is stated in the article - I can find no other mention of this in the British news media (and he's well enough known in Britain that I'd expect his death to have got a mention on the BBC news).AndyofKent (talk) 00:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Having just read the rules re biographies of living persons, I've removed the statement that he died on 13 Dec as I have been unable to verify it. His death has not been reported in the British news media or music media, or on his own website. Apologies if he has indeed died, but if so I'd have expected to encounter the info elsewhere.AndyofKent (talk) 02:12, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
