[edit] signing
Not a biggie, but you don't need to type the four tildes "~~~~" in the edit summary box. The software notes the editor and date/time. The tildes are a preferred option for use on talk pages. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 11:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
As I'm guessing you've better access than me... Do you know if there are any true public-domain photos of the band around, or if you're able to take some/rustle some up & release them? At the moment, the only thing to illustrate what they look like is the fair-use cover of The Kitchen Tapes; because this is a fair-use image, it's only usable to illustrate the album and not the band, so has to lurk down the bottom in the discography; it also raises copyright violation problems preventing Wikipedia from using this article on its CD-ROMs or on the main page. I did contact Gina a while back off-Wiki to try to rustle some up, but thought you might be better placed to do so - thanks. At some point, I do intend to clean up and expand this article (and possibly merge Gina & Ana's separate articles back into it) as it's a fairly unstable article, and the subject is, if anything, becoming more significant as time goes by — iridescent (talk to me!) 12:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:The Raincoats.1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Raincoats.1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
