[edit] Stub

This article is no longer a stub, but I don't know how to alter that category. I could place a photo from an album cover, but would someone comment re copyright? George Slivinsky 07:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scope of article

I'm wondering how much detail would be appropriate. I could list all his UA singles with numbers and both sides. I think it's good to have such a reference source, but do others think it's overdoing? I've listed all the UA LPs I know rather than just prominent. Is that too much for a general encyclopedia? George Slivinsky 07:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy-edit

I did a copy-edit of the article for formatting, adding the musical artist infobox, and correctly formatting the images as thumbs, and bulletting the albums list and external links. - cgilbert^{(talk|contribs)} 06:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image sizes

I am reducing the image sizes back to 250px. I understand that George Slivinsky likes the images larger, and I am not reverting them back to the unspecified thumbnail size (180px). I believe that 250px is a reasonable size, which George Slivinsky, originally changed the image size to after I had formatted the images as thumbnails. Information about image sizes can be found at Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images. If you would like to change the image sizes, please discuss the matter here before doing so. - cgilbert^{(talk|contribs)} 13:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Al Caiola - High Chaparral.ogg

Image:Al Caiola - High Chaparral.ogg 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 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.
