[edit] Clarification request

I just made a number of changes to this page, but still more need to be made. Many thanks to whoever it was that's supplied so much information. I'm not sure "Her record label is Rythmedia tribe and she belongs Rythmedia" was supposed to mean. Can someone clarify what Rythmedia Tribe and Rythmedia are? (J44xm 03:55, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Album and singer cover

Someone removed the album image with the reason "an album cover is not fair use on a bio article" and in my opinion the removal may not be correct. According to Wikipedia:Fair use, album is considered a type under Cover art and it can be used from various items, for identification and critical commentary (not for identification without critical commentary).

Hence, if an article talks only about the singer but DOES NOT provide any critical commentary on the his/her's album or single (which in fact,is rare), or the album image uploaded is not the ones related to the critical commentary, the album could be removed.

In contrary, if the article does provide some critical commentary on the album in question ( like this article, it DOES discuss Misia version of the song 'Loving you' which is in the album Love is the Message) and an image of the album is uploaded for this purpose. As a result, the use of the album image here is considered Fair Use. Davilaser 17:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

For the record, the article as it stands contains exactly one sentence of critical commentary on this album and, in fact, this commentary is limited to one song on the album. The appearance of the album cover has no obvious relevance to the commentary. Still, if we're going to count the album cover as fair use for this article, we should at least put the image of the album next to the text that mentions it. Frankly, this looks to me like essentially an end-run around copyright laws in the interests of decorating the article with a picture of the artist. Nevertheless, since the case is not clear cut, I'm not going to interfere with it, at least not for the time being. - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 19:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can't Change Her Page

For some reason, wikipedia isnt letting me change her page, it keeps saying that I am giving wrong information. In The last paragraph of her autobiography, it says that she will be releasing three singles in a row, which is wrong, she will only be releasing two (and a tour DVD). I also tired to add her newest tour DVD "DECIMO X ANIVERSARIO DE MISIA THE BEST DJ REMIXES + Tour of MISIA 2008 EIGHTH WORLD DVD" to her list of tours... and it is saying that is wrong information.

Could someone please fix this, or tell me how to do it without wikipedia removing it right after? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.67.140.118 (talk) 05:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
