| Authenticity check: A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts? Wetman |

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sour Times.ogg
Image:Sour Times.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 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 08:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Does not appear on the U.K. edition"
Tracklist says that one of tracks "Does not appear on the U.K. edition".
Which one is it? --Amir E. Aharoni 15:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed Covers section
Perhaps a good way to reduce the Miscellanea section would be to create a Covers section, since there are several references to covers versions of the tracks. It would basically have the same bulleted listing, but it seems more appropriate for an album page. There could also be another small section entitled something like Other Appearances for the remaining bullets that mention appearances of the tracks elsewhere. The thing with album pages, is that they usually have lots of statistics, listings, and random facts, but I think it's more appropriate in this case. I'd appreciate feedback on this opinion... I haven't researched it too much in the actual Wikipedia guidelines, so maybe I'm being redundant. --DJ Phazer 23:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weather Report Sample
For the intro of "Strangers" I believe, the soprano saxaphone effect, I do believe it's sampled from a track from Weather Report's Black Market. It introduces the song, not unlike in "Strangers". Can anyone identify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CrowleyHead (talk • contribs) 19:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
