In the song "Don't Stand On The Grass, Sam" is it true that "Sam" is a reference to "Uncle Sam" ? Bjardis 13:04, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

In "Don't Step On The Grass, Sam", yes, and grass does not refer to a lawn here, either. --Matthead 11:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] For the birds

Can somebody clarify? Is it Sparrow, The Sparrow, or The Sparrows? Canadian Encyclopedia says Sparrow... Trekphiler 03:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Flag of Canada

First it was Jack London & the Sparrows, then The Sparrows, and finally, The Sparrow before becoming Steppenwolf.Lars951 20:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Any chance the lineup tables will be finished? They don't currently show the years. --kingboyk 22:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Background

this paragraph reads atrociously, it needs to be re worded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.88.228 (talk) 21:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Membership

The actual controlling members before the lawsuits of the late 70s were Kay, Monarch, Moreve, McJohn, Edmonton, and St. Nicholas. Everyone else was employed and only a member for promotional and creative purposes. The "Big 6" were partners, with St. Nicholas replacing Moreve after he left. I don't know how to specify this in the infobox.Lars951 20:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

While assessing album articles for WP:ALBUMS, I came upon the article 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Steppenwolf. This article is at a sub-stub status, lacking sufficient information for standalone status. According to WP:MUSIC, "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article, space permitting." This album article doesn't even have that. Accordingly, I propose to merge the contents into the parent article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Support per nom. --Brewcrewer 03:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • The article was a little thin, but I've added a lot more information, and now the article has a LOT more info compared to most of the other "Millennium Collection" articles on wikipedia, so I think it should stay separate, especially since more information is forthcoming in the way of reviews, chronology, etc. I primarily started the page with an eye toward expanding it... Lars951 18:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
    • The article has sufficient information now to survive, but it does need secondary sourcing. Once reviews are added, I'm sure it will satisfy this. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Banali2.jpg

Image:Banali2.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 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.
