thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Daveclark.jpg

message: I keep having to remove the text below from the article.  It's poorly written (for an encyclopedia) and mostly not supported by the one source.
As far as it is known, Dave Clark was the first musician to negotiate a reversionary clause into his recording contract which leased his recordings to the record company for a certain number of years. After that time, all ownership of the material reverted back to him. This is common practice today but relatively unknown at that time.  On the release of a (DC5) British hits album in the mid-70s, Dave Clark resided in the United States for a year thus avoiding paying taxes in Britain on the proceeds of that release. The British government challenged this but lost the case in court.http://taxationpodcasts.com/tag/dave-clark-five/
But, there may be scope for including a properly written and properly sourced sentence or two on his business acumen, which has been noted elsewhere - for instance here and here.  We need to bear in mind WP:BLP, and the fact that Clark is (to quote one article) "a very private man" who I'm sure would not take kindly to inaccurate information being published here.

replies: text: Yes, this seems to be a problematic claim, even for a WP:RS to make, since many artists are likely to treat contractual arrangements as private and confidential. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:47, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

text: "Savvy" is slang - short for "savoir faire".  "Acumen" is encyclopedic language.  If you can provide a source for Elton John's quote, we can use that word - otherwise, we won't.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:33, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

text: At least Ghmyrtle chooses to use a name. Maybe you have some kind of unwanted record? I suspect Elton has said many things that we'd not necessarily want to see in an encyclopedia. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

text: Do you know how Wikipedia works? Does 72,000 edits over 9 years make one "an actual editor"? You can decide. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:34, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

text: Also....   "savvy" is not "English for" savoir faire - the English for savoir faire is (roughly) "knowing what to do".  Savvy is slang.   Editors are not "employed by Wikipedia".  Podcasts are not reliable sources.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as the claim that is causing this discussion is concerned, it's untrue.  Freddy Cannon (For one) had such an agreement in the 50s.  But I'm here right now because of the statement that Podcasts are not reliable sources.  Surely that depends upon whose podcast it is?  If someone who has been to the moon tells me it's made of green cheese I'd still be inclined to believe them, but if someone who hasn't wants to tell me that a flag on the moon should wave in the breeze... Hmmm, not so sure about that.  I've used TV and radio programmes as refs before now, and podcasts are pretty much the same thing.  Some of the very earliest podcasts were a mine of information about programming for the internet. --Deke42 (talk) 00:07, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

message: There used to be an entry on here about The Dave Clark Skiffle Group, which preceded the Five.  It listed names and instruments and suggested that they did at least some gigging.  Was it a false fact or was it removed for some other reason? --Deke42 (talk) 23:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
