Nothing special to say... I just trawl around adding detail as and when I know it.

[edit] Image:Brian Wilson 1965.jpg

I deleted this image because it was unsourced and used solely do illustrate the Brian Wilson infobox, without any accompanying critical commentary. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 20:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


Most infoboxes regularly contain an image pertaining to the article in question. In this case, a photo a Brian Wilson, one of the world's most famous and prolific composers, producers and performers seems warranted to me.

I restrict my editing of articles to those in which I have an interest or specific knowledge, yet some people, such as yourself, wander around applying your edits willy-nilly. Sorry if this sounds rude, but then again, some would say that a stranger, wandering to a room and deleting something, would also appear to some to be rather rude.

A photo of Wilson is certainly warranted, as long as it is under a free license, as dictated by Wikipedia fair use criteria for images of living persons. I also restrict my editing to subjects I have an interest in or specific knowledge of. Image copyright is one of those subjects. For what its worth, I found a free-licensed alternative photograph of Wilson and uploaded it to Commons as Image:Brian Wilson, goofy.jpg. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 00:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rock n Roll Swindle album cover

Added a very extensive rationale to the pic. If this doesn't shut the bot up, I don't know what will. Rien Post (talk) 21:41, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
