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

Image:RoscoGordonAlbumcover.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 10:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

missing information[edit]

How come you didn't talk about the dispute with Sam Phillips and Rosco Gordon losing rights to his songs. He got them back before he died. 108.14.55.185 (talk) 01:24, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright problem[edit]

This article has been revised as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Beale Streeters[edit]

Some mention of the Beale Streeters should be made. I inserted a clause about them. They were not really a cohesive band, so I settled on calling them a collective. Jwicklatz (talk) 00:10, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jwicklatz: Sounds awkward, but what does the reference say? (which should be included). BTW, Template:Cite web#Parameters states: "The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website)". In this case, the website appears as "AllMusic"; the owner changes often, but doesn't need to be included. MOS:SPELL09 includes:

Generally, in article text:
Integers from zero to nine are spelled out in words.

Integers greater than nine expressible in one or two words may be expressed either in numerals or in words.
