[edit] Inaccuracies
"After having disappeared from the market since 2004, Melodiya started rereleasing their recordings in 2006." Actually, after the contract with MBG expired in 2003 the company re-opened under a new management and started building its own world-wide distribution network. Coincidentally, in 2003 Russian government passed a new copyright legislation (including the so called "retro-protection clause"). Melodiya faced (and lost) numerous copyright lawsuits.
"There is also a modern radio station in Russia known as Kanal Melodiya ..." This mentioning might not be relevant to the topic. There is no sign of affiliation (or any relevant relationship) between the radiostaion and the Melodiya record label.
[edit] Need for full article
The topic deserves a full-length article with more historical and technical details, including the pre-Melodiya era. The Soviet recording industry was, after all, the largest in the world. In the meantime I've added a reference to another site that explains the numbering system and gives a few more facts.Galltywenallt (talk) 20:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Melodiya logo.svg
Image:Melodiya logo.svg 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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
