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

Image:Itchy.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 ensure 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.

I have completed the fair use rationale and, unless there are further concerns, await the removal of the disputed tag. Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver} 18:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black Stone Cherry[edit]

One of the members of the metal band Black Stone Cherry is the son of one of the Kentucky Headhunters as of which I'm not sure (the gutiarist I believe.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riseabovethis (talk • contribs) 03:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:The Kentucky Headhunters/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hello TPH and other editors. I'll be reviewing this article. I should have the GA checklist along with my analysis posted by tomorrow if not earlier. Tim meh 00:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Checklist and analysis[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Surprisingly, there was little in the way of grammar and spelling issues compared to other GANs I've reviewed. However, I did come across some awkward sounding sentences and reworded them appropriately.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
As far as I can tell, the sources look good, and there is no original research, except for this: "Kenney left the band shortly after Flying Under the Radar, and Doug took over on bass guitar." You'll need to cite a source for that statement.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
The lead should include a sentence or two about the band's musical style, basically a short summary of what's in the relevant section of the article. Also, the first sentence should mention the Grammy win, so as to assert the band's notability right in the beginning.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
I know this isn't an immensely popular band, but did its music or members receive any notable criticism?
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I'll put the article on hold until my concerns are addressed. Tim meh 23:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm passing the article, as it looks good now. Good work, congratulations, and good luck in your future work. :) Tim meh 17:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other comments[edit]

As for the fact that Kenney has left, the only source I found to verify it was a link on Associated Content, which is a blacklisted site. I think the fact that the band's website acknowledges Doug as bass guitarist is the best we can do now. The best critical receptions I could find were album reviews from various sites (Entertainment Weekly, Allmusic, Country Standard Time, Billboard). Allmusic says that they had a "legacy" but doesn't specify on that point. Also, I was told not to use "X-award winning" in lead sentences.

- I found a source stating that Kenney left, but it doesn't give an exact date, only saying "recently" in a story published in August 2008. You might want to add that and reword the sentence to fit around it. Also, who told you not to use such a phrase in lead sentences? According to WP:LEAD, the first sentence is supposed to establish the subject's notability, and stating the fact that the band won a Grammy award does just that.

Singular vs Plural[edit]

Someone wrote "The Kentucky Headhunters is", etc, throughout the article, arguing that "because they are an American band, it is singular". As this only applies to bands with non-plural names (e.g. ZZ Top), I have corrected the article to use the plural. Whoever made these changes is unaware of the collective singular versus plural rule in American English, and simply assumes that every band name is singular. Please prevent this from happening again. Thank you. AmericanLeMans (talk) 19:42, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
