[edit] Lou Reed's grandson?

Is Zach Condon really Lou Reed's grandson? A quick web search doesn't turn up any confirmation. I suspect vandalism. Gmarsden 19:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Condon's birthdate

I just added the *age* template to the beginning of the article, but I don't know his exact birthday. If anyone does, please update the tag. Gmarsden 12:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hm...The NPR article linked (May 4, 2006) said he was 19; the AP article (26 June, 2006) says 20. Puddleglum 23:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

In the South by Southwest Concert on March 16, 2007, he stated that he just turned 21 "about two weeks ago" which would put his birth date at probably early March 1986. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stoplooklisten (talk • contribs) 01:01, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] discography

the discography doesn't include the aforementioned LP that only has two songs on it. I don't know how to edit pages to include pictures

also, iTunes refers to Pompeii as a single. Thoughts? Topperray 22:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Beirut pompeii.jpeg

Image:Beirut pompeii.jpeg 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 02:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Condon

Currently, searching for Zach Condon redirects to this article. However, I feel that the man and the band are seperate enough to warrant a seperate page just for Condon. He wrote much of it himself, but there is a whole group of people who work with him. I don't want to create a new page just yet, but does anyone else agree with me on this? Topperray 21:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course Beirut is not Zach Condon, it is band. But a page just about Beirut and another one just about Condon, it will make two really small pages I think, maybe in a few years if Zach Condon released other things alone or if Beirut continue without him, but I think now it is not necessary ...

[edit] The manic depression thing

I see there's been a "citation needed" link added to it, but can anyone confirm it? I looked on Google and I couldn't find anything. Vandalism, maybe? 24.0.193.173 (talk) 01:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Possibly. I'm removing it to follow WP:BLP guidelines; if documentation can be found, it can return. Tijuana Brass (talk) 07:20, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First name use

In the main section the name "Zach" is used instead of "Condon" when referring to Zach Condon. Shouldn't the last name be used instead of the first? MrHen. (talk) 16:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Generally, yes. That's the norm for most naming conventions using the Romanized alphabet. Tijuana Brass (talk) 20:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
