Any Idea what Golden Skans refers to anyone?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Golden Skans.jpg

Image:Golden Skans.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 16:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ska-whatnow?

Is the "Skans" part of the title a reference to the Skan page which it links to? If so, well done for finding / writing such a page, but can this be verified that this is what they are talking about? Cheers --SteelersFan UK06 23:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, in the absense of a source, I'm going to remove that link. There's nothing else in the song that suggests the Lakota creator-god Skan, and the plural form that Klaxons use is pretty innapropriate for one entity. -- AvatarMN 09:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Anybody read the book the album was named after? (J.G. Ballards Myths of the Near Future) There may be something in there to suggest what Gold Skans refers to.--Santahul 10:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

There's a type of stage light called a Golden Scan (it's an intelligent lantern which can do pretty patterns and colours and moves around - they're often in the lighting rig at raves, apparently). Looking at the lyrics, that might be what they're referring to. I can't find a source though, so it can't go in the article for now. — Matt Eason ^{(Talk • Contribs)} 18:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

And a fine light it is. I've added a refference (the gs4 product page) to te statment 'golden scan made by claypaky' ~Wilflet (talk) 19:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
