[edit] Quotation marks?

Has anyone else noticed that on the album cover, and on bobdylan.com, the title of the album is written with quotes, "Love and Theft"? Meanwhile, none of his other albums are notated thusly. Should thisl;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

lll page be moved to "Love and Theft" so as to accurately get the album's name? Tix 22:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that the quotation marks are part of the title. The page should be moved back.Alcuin (talk) 19:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with link

In the paragraph:

"In the article published in the Journal, a line from "Floater" ("I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound") was traced to a line in the book, which said "I'm not as cool or forgiving as I might have sounded." A number of other examples were listed, all of which can be found at http://www.dylanchords.com/41_lat/textual_sources.htm"

The URL does not work - it gives a 404 error.

[edit] kot quote

The opening track, "'Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, includes many references to parades in Mardi Gras in New Orleans, where participants are masked, and "determined to go all the way" of the parade route, in spite of being intoxicated. It rolls in like a storm, drums galloping over the horizon into ear shot, guitar riffs slicing with terse dexterity while a tale about a pair of vagabonds unfolds," writes Kot.

first of all, there should be another single quotation mark to close the title, if indeed that whole thing is part of the kot quote. second, ok, there's a parade in the song, but i see nothing else that suggests this song is about mardi gras. seriously, i'm supposed to believe that "determined to go all the way" just means all the way through a parade? --Progjunky 01:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Hi, I've tagged the article ready for cleanup. The main points which need addressing are:

  • There are lots of quotes - probably too many! Much of their content could be summarized in the text without directly quoting.
  • The citations are quite poor at the moment. Lots of work needs to be done to find the sources for all the information in the article. I've marked most of the places I think could use a reference.
  • The references that are already there need converting to inline citations.
  • The Miscellanea section should be converted to prose and possibly merged into the main text.

[edit] Production credits

Please can a knowledgeable person add details to the Personnel section? Production details should be there according to WP:ALBUM B-class guidelines. Thanks Papa November 23:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Loveandtheftcover.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 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.
