Fair use rationale for Image:Bellowhead.JPG[edit]

Image:Bellowhead.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tidy up / Less hyperbole[edit]

I'm about to link this (adding Derry Gaol and Prickle Eye Bush to the The Maid Freed From the Gallows page), and am worried (as a longstanding fan of Bellowhead) that in its current state it will be eaten alive by the more censorious wikipedians.

Need to provide some sources - especially for how the band describe themselves, evidence of the 'hype' generated (though I fear that the extent of hype is unprovable) - and generally make it sound less like a gushing fan and more like an objective description.

I will endevour to do some of this myself, but if anyone else has the time and/or inclination, it would be great.

Yes, some suggestions (sorry, will do it myself if and when time!):

"Bellowhead are surely the best live act in the country" The Independent - I think the quote was 'bar the Who'!

The band debuted at the first Oxford Folk Festival in April 2004, and were an instant success [evidence?]. Festival audiences have destroyed two dance floors such was their enthusiasm [evidence and relevance?]. As a result [not as a result of acclaim, presumably they would have done so anyway], they independently released a five-track EP of "English World Music" [quote] entitled E.P.Onymous, which generated very positive reviews [evidence]. The following year, after only 4 gigs, the band won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Live Act 2005 for their live performances at festivals around Britain, including Cambridge Folk Festival and Womad Reading [repetitive, if we are naming two of the four gigs name the lot or not at all! One was Sidmouth.].

In 2006 they released their first full-length album, Burlesque, featuring material from the Napoleonic Wars (Rigs of the Time), the American minstrel movement (Jordan) and sea-shanties [plural, is there more than one?] from Brazil (Across the Line). They also appeared alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers, Keane and Thom Yorke on the BBC TV show Later... with Jools Holland, winning praise from Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis [evidence? I thought it was Flea?]. Murkeychris (talk) 05:52, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dancefloors destroyed[edit]

I don't know if anyone is keeping a running total, but I changed two destroyed to three: Towersey festival dance tent 28.8.10. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.76.89 (talk) 11:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of File:Bellowhead - Toy.jpg for deletion[edit]

Hello, this is just a heads up to inform you that File:Bellowhead - Toy.jpg, which is used in this article, has been nominated for deletion at PUF by myself. You can see my rationale and add your input on the nomination page, which can be found here. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 20:21, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vocals - six is different from eleven[edit]

From introduction, "with six members providing vocals".

The Current members section lists all eleven members providing vocals.

Anyone heard of proof reading? Checking facts? You know, like they do at real encyclopaedias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.168.78.33 (talk) 18:51, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
