[edit] Al's surname

His name is spelled Al Di Meola with a space between "Di" and "Meola." This is how it is spelled on his official website and on his personalized guitar picks. He gave me one after his show at The Birchmere. I have to assume that he would have his name spelled correctly on his own guitar picks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.213.209.186 (talk • contribs).

Al's foray into Latin and World styles began in 2001 with Cielo a Terra, not in the 90s. This should be changed.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Elegant gypsy.jpg

Image:Elegant gypsy.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. 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 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 04:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
