[edit] Copyright violations

Much of the content of this page appears to be taken verbatim from www.allmusic.com. Lookup Lester Young there. This is copyrighted material.

[edit] "tenor man"

is the song "tenor man" originally by Karl Denson's Tiny Universe?

I have no idea. I've removed it along with all the copyvio material from the All Music Guide (and the rather dubious statement that Young "turned to bebop"). Charles Mingus's Goodbye Pork Pie Hat is a far more famous tribute to Young. I'll have a go at the latter half of Young's career this evening when I have access to books and CD notes. --Andrew Norman 8 July 2005 11:42 (UTC)

[edit] Prez/Pres

The article uses the spelling "Prez," which is the common form for president and was used for Young, but "Pres" seems to have more prevalent. More than a dozen albums include "Pres" in the title, and it's the form I most associate with Lester Young. Greenmango 06:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

So, I'll change that. Greenmango 20:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LesterYoung.jpg

Image:LesterYoung.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 04:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
