"It was leaked onto the internet on December 20th 2006." - I removed this. It's not necessary to inform people the album leaked and that it can be downloaded for free. This is detrimental to the band as well as cheapening Wikipedia to a storage place for software piracy tips. - User Goneja 12/23

It's a matter of opinion whether or not it hurts the band, plus numerous other Wikipedia articles state that albums were leaked at one time or another. We're not providing links on where to download them, we're simply saying what happened. Let's not prove Stephen Colbert correct by saying that because of Wikipedia's open structure anything you think can be fact or not. Needles to say, unless you can come up with a better reason, I'm putting the information back. --NeoVampTrunks 10:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

"Let's not prove Stephen Colbert correct by saying that because of Wikipedia's open structure anything you think can be fact or not."

well, take your own advice. of course the album got leaked. nearly every album released gets leaked. it's not pertinent information. its not necessary information. you think 50 years from now educated people reasearching skinny puppy will be curious to know the exact date the album was leaked to the public when, on average, any given CD will be released a month or so prior to it's official release in the form of a promo? should we also mention that the colors of the album cover are cool because blue and yellow are good? no, no one cares. posting that it leaked also basically says to the viewer "Hey, you can download it for free right now! Go look for it!" and serves no other purpose.--24.45.146.228

See: Kid A, 10,000 Days, [With_Teeth], etc. I'll wait a little bit longer for legitimate, signed comments from registered users and if nothing comes up I'll replace the edits. --NeoVampTrunks 01:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

- You keep putting it up, I'll keep taking it down. The album isn't even out yet, it only serves to promote piracy of it. Spare the anal attitude over it and agree with me on that, have some decency for a band you like. It does not make the article or the album look good when all we have to say about it at the moment is "It's soon to be released. And it's leaked already." --Goneja 06:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Then let's at least shelve the information for now and bring it back after the article has be fleshed out. This information is not entirely irrelevant as it could have a long term effect (both positive and negative) over the sales figures. --NeoVampTrunks 23:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

On one hand, album leaks do not affect album sales at all. On the other hand, every album leaks and the fact that the album leaked is not something worthy of mention in an encyclopedic entry.68.255.172.129 20:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

You reverted my removal of the soon to be released banner type thing... The album is out in germany (release dates changed because of leaks), and i'm guessing the UK (they were selling one in my local record store), so i'm guessing it stays removed? Unless the USA gets precedence =\ --Oystercake

USA does sort of get precedence. Here's the deal: We're on the English Wikipedia which covers the USA and the UK generally and after consulting amazon.co.uk and amazon.de I've determined that, yes, it is out in Germany, but no, it is not out in the UK. Therefore I'm moving it back to the way it was simply because none of the countries generally determined to be covered on this wiki have released the album. Feel free to make the change on the German Wikipedia though:) --NeoVampTrunks 00:27, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, Seeing as the album has been distributed, it's contents are hardly going to change as the warning states... which makes the warning irrelevent? So i'm taking it down, since everything on here is equal to the final release. Oystercake 15:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Mythmaker.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.
