Talk:Dawn of the Black Hearts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Picture Removal
Dawn of the Black Hearts picture should be removed, it is the ACTUAL picture of the lead singer after he committed suicide, therefore is very disrespectful and unappreciated.
But it's also the ACTUAL cover.
picture must not be removed!
Well, given that it does depict a person with his skull blown open, wrists slit, and what looks to be bits of brain sitting beside him, the picture should probably be behind some kind of warning, since it is graphic by any standards. What about taking down this image and providing an off-site link (with a fair warning)? Its about the same thing that is done here with articles on intrinsically disturbing (visually, that is) things like the harlequin fetus, to use one example.
It's an album cover and it has everything to do with the subject matter so it stays. Get over it. Wikipedia and life in general are not censored for the squeamish. Sion 10:14, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I guess if you're the kind of person who is offended by this, you probably shouldn't be listening to Mayhem anyway. 72.12.163.230 07:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, that's about the coolest album cover EVER! But seriously, think about this for a moment. Where does it say you can't have a picture of a dead person on Wikipedia? Why is it alright to write about death but not show a picture? Should pictures of concentration camps be censored too? Paintings of Jesus' crucification? Should we only record history that you think is appropriate? --76.16.71.212 (talk) 01:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not censored you dipshit.97.97.149.74 (talk) 05:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The photo is in very poor taste, the singer's family is not happy with it. I'd like to keep the site child-safe if possible, this photo is sensationalistic and has no informational value. Besides, even though the photographer is dead, the photo is not public domain, and it was used on the bootleg without permission or payment, so any fair use rationale for reproducing the cover is moot. I remove the photo now, I expect it to be up again in ten minutes. 88.89.218.18 (talk) 21:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DawnOfTheBlackHearts.jpg
Image:DawnOfTheBlackHearts.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 05:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
