[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The magnetic fields holiday album cover.jpg
Image:The magnetic fields holiday album cover.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eva Longoria edit
Sorry everyone, I can't figure out how to do a citation. But the reference for Eva Longoria and Tony Parker's wedding dance to "Book of Love" is from People (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20045213,00.html)
[edit] twee
The word twee doesn't appear anywhere on this page. Can that be right? -- Zarvok | Talk 03:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Magnetic Fields' music doesn't really fit into that category, does it? (The only connection I can see is that twee is associated with homosexuality and Stephin Merritt publishes his music under the name "Gay and Loud.") Llajwa 16:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "unorthodox" instruments
The instruments named as "unorthodox instruments" are orthodox instruments. They were created for the purpose of making music. For instance, one might consider a hammer an unorthodox instrument, but by no means is a cello "unorthodox." I would not even consider many of these instruments unorthodox within the synthpop genre, which is known for using a variety of instruments as well as truly unorthodox instruments. This sentence needs to be clarified as to what the author meant by using the word "unorthodox."
[edit] Question from article
"comment: Magnetophone isn't a Galaxie 500 spin-off, aside from being founded seven years later in 1998. Did the author mean Damon & Naomi?" --AW (talk) 04:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Characterization of music as 1980s synth pop in opening paragraph
Is this at all accurate? This is more accurate of SOME albums under the MF moniker, but applies mostly to albums Merritt has released under the name Future Bible Heroes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.78.12 (talk) 04:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Links
I did an interview with Claudia Gonson of this group, so I feel it deserves to be a part of this page. Then WHY, when other band interviews are included on this page in the link AREA, why cannot MINE? Kingtommy2020 (talk) 19:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Trying to get links to your own site into Wikipedia is a conflict of interest, and discouraged. If it's important, someone else will add it. --McGeddon (talk) 20:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
