[edit] Backing vocal on Airbag: timing off

Checked it out of curiousity. I think it's actually 1:37 to 1:52 and not the stated times... nice singing btw, Ed!

[edit] Man U?

I've just reverted the page. Unless source is cited, the article should not state that Ed O'Brien is shareholder of Manchester United or a Manimal, whatever that is. -Caluã

[edit] Image

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ed_O%27Brien_singing_Radiohead_at_Blackpool.jpg Can someone verify that this is an image of O'Brien? Jkelly 19:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks just like him. And if it is definitely from a Radiohead gig then it definitely is Ed. It isn't any of the other members, for certain. Sven945 21:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Free use image

It seems that the extremely strict WP:FAIR policy is working in overdrive at the minute. In preparation for the image of Ed inevitably being deleted, I've replaced it with a free use alternative. The fact that there is a free alternative available is enough justification for the removal of of the Fair Use image. The only trouble is that the free image is poor quality. If anyone can find a better one, that would be great. I'll keep looking! - Alex valavanis 14:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I have replaced the blurry Blackpool free-use image with a better one by Laura Sylvester, with her permission. Arveigh 18:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks fantastic - even better than the old fair use one! Do you know the photographer? Is she likely to release any other images of the band? The rest of the album looks great too. The only possible issue is that cc-3.0 licenses haven't been agreed as free enough for use on Wikipedia yet. I don't know enough about the differences to know if this is a problem.

Yeah, I know her -- her contact info is on the image page if you want to ask her yourself; I didn't ask about other images. The cc-3.0 thing is odd, since they (Creative Commons) aren't distributing the 2.5 licenses anymore, and suggest that people with the 2.5 licenses upgrade to 3.0 -- but it's a free use license, and the photographer agreed to the 2.5 license in the first place, so hopefully it's not an issue. Had the same problem with the Colin Greenwood image (different photographer). :) Arveigh 19:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

This is resolved: the image now has a 2.5 license, with the photographer's permission. Arveigh 20:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
