message: :Image:PieceOfStrange.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 suppose that you have a point, although policies of verifiability regarding sampling by/of recording artists are lax throughout Wikipedia.  If this truly is Kno, why don't you provide an official list of samples?  I'm sure that it would be much appreciated by many.--Hoops gza (talk) 10:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry if you didn't properly license your samples but a note on the group's website stating that "an official sample listing does not exist" doesn't mean the songs weren't sampled. Don't worry too much about the publishers finding out, everyone knows how notoriously unreliable Wikipedia is as a source of information. Besides, if anyone comes knocking, looking to get paid, you can just tell them it's wrong or that "it's not a sample, it's an incredible simulation". TheJazzDalek (talk) 10:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
