Talk:Soul2Soul II Tour

message: :Image:Soul2SoulII2006.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Soul2SoulII2006.jpg

message: User:Alkclark removed most of this article's descriptive text concerning the tour, which I have now restored.  This article barely survived AfD at a time when many country music and popular music tour articles were deleted.  It did so because it was able to establish the notability and importance of the tour through a good deal of reliably-sourced information.  Tour articles that consist only or mostly of setlists and tour dates are often deleted, so to strip this article down like that made no sense.  Furthermore it was done with a somewhat misleading edit summary, no notice here on the talk page, and no consultation whatsoever with the editors who worked on this page before.  I am happy to discuss any particular item of concern in the article, but this wholesale unexplained stripping was unacceptable.
In doing the restoration, I have left intact Alkclark's changes to the reference material sections.  I would ask, however, what the rationale is for hiding setlists but leaving open tour dates and box office data.  If anything, it should be the other way around:  setlists relate directly to the artistic work involved, whereas box office data is strictly commercial and tour dates is really mundane information (in fact, some tour article editors don't allow them at all, although I take a live and let live approach).  
Finally, I would note that poster images that are in tour articles should not be removed, even if screenshot images are added at the top.   Screenshot images often don't survive fair use at IfD, because they relate to DVD works and not the tour itself, and if the poster images aren't linked to by some article they get bot-deleted as orphans and have to be re-added again.  Even if the screenshot image survives, the poster images are still very useful graphics to show how the tour was promoted and portrayed.  Wasted Time R (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: For an article about a tour, no mention of the band? No mention of how many musicians, who, the instruments?

replies: text: It was there in the "Personnel" section, but it was at the bottom of the article where it was hard to spot.  I've moved it higher up.  Wasted Time R (talk) 01:34, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
