I've made some minor changes to remove the pejorative tone of references to the language LKJ uses when performing, versus the language he uses in non-performative public speech.

[edit] Penguin reference

The article states that LKJ is the only living poet to have been published in the Penguin series. Is this really true? Any evidence elsewhere to support this? --Bwmodular 08:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks to Zleitzen for finding the reference. --Bwmodular 13:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I contacted LKJ Records asking for a picture to be used on Wikipedia, and got the following email an an answer:

"Thanks for the email. We would grant permission but the only photos we have are copyrighted to the photographers, so I can't use those. You can take one off our website at www.lkjrecords.com if that is any help. Sorry that I can't help.

Best wishes, Sharmilla Beezmohun LKJ Records Ltd"

Is this enough when regarding Wikipedia policies? Can I just add a picture from lkjrecords.com, for example < http://lkjrecords.com/images/lintonbio.jpg > ? - Fradlin (talk) 12:04, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
