[edit] Relevance?

Are the last two paragraphs relevant to this article? They're very specifically about Queen, rather than Paul Rodgers.

I've taken it upon myself to delete them for that reason.

The last paragraph before the discography is gibberish - can anyone make sense of it? Bretonbanquet 11:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better

The original opinion herein of Paul Rodgers having a great voice but mediocre song writing abilities has been replaced with the truth that he is a force, and i'm grateful

[edit] Neutrality

I have removed sections of the article in order to bring it in line with Wikipedia policies on neutrality. Please see WP:NPOV and WP:BIO for more information. The article read like something from a fan site instead of an encyclopedia article. More work may be needed to make this article objective. Ground Zero | t 12:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

No other artist has led four bands to global success (Free, Bad Company, The Firm, The Law) ... Apologies, but I think this sounds like standard PR hyperbole and I question whether it's even accurate. For example, what about about Eric Clapton (take your pick from The Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, the Eric Clapton Band). I would also question whether either The Firm or The Law really achieved global success. --David T Tokyo 09:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

I think it pertinent to include Rodgers' nationality in the first line of the article - it's a normal inclusion for a biographical article. Therefore I have included it. Anyone who doesn't agree should enter into a discussion here on the talk page rather than reverting to something else or deleting parts of the article. Repeated reverts accompanied by a refusal to discuss is considered vandalism and usually results in someone getting blocked. Bretonbanquet 23:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] relationship with queen

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cut Loose.jpg

Image:Cut Loose.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 Wikipedia articles 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.
