What sort of fleshing out of this (or similar) article would be appropriate?

I'm willing to help and expand where I can, but it seems to me that there's a danger of editorialising. I could opine that this album presents a particularly bleak outlook on the part of Thompson, or muse over the placing of Mike Waterson's "mole in a hole" at the end of the album, but is that appropriate for Wikipedia?

So what IS required/recommended/suggested please?

Good question. When you're dealing with an aural artform it is hard to be encyclopedic - I know what you mean. What I like is what a couple of contributors have done with the 1970s Hawkwind albums like Doremi Fasol Latido with the Side 1/2 breaks, Band Quotes, Release History etc. Also add references like biographies & interviews & refer to them taking short, relevant & not too gushing quotes. The Hawkwind stuff walks the line really well in my opinion. You need to know what it sounds like but you aren't the one to write that as it's original research. Anyway, contribute! Help out & the rest of us will polish what you've done & hopefully it'll turn out better than any one of us could do Megamanic 02:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RT hp.jpg

Image:RT hp.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 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 00:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
