message: We need a free Radiohead image for the infobox, as the fair-use one has been deleted.  There don't appear to be any good ones on Commons or Flikr.  Has anyone seen one elsewhere? - Alex valavanis 16:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Let me know if you need any further help.  Papa November 19:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: How far is this article from FA status? and what can i do to get it there? --SteelersFan UK06 15:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it still needs a thorough copyedit.  Last time I read through, some of the text seemed a little wordy.  Once the redundancy has been reduced a bit, it can probably go to WP:FAC.  At worst, we'll receive a lot of good suggestions for how to improve things. - Papa November 1 16:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Wp:el#Links_normally_to_be_avoided does include links to be avoided as MySpace pages. However,  the first line states an exception is official pages of the subject of the article. Radiohead's MySpace page is "an official page of the article subject." By this interpretation an external link to the MySpace page is acceptable.  - Steve3849 talk 08:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ... except that that is not Radiohead's official Myspace page, despite what it says.   -/- Warren 10:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

message: We are having a slight disagreement on whether or not the Band Members section is overlong, and whether or not to cut some of the instruments played. I feel that--based on the type of band Radiohead is--that they all DO play many instruments, and thus they need to stay. Other opinions? K. Scott Bailey 15:52, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What I'm primarily removing is the double-listing of the ondes martenot, along with moving the listing of "percussion" to Selway, as that class of instrument is mainly played by him. There shouldn't be too much debate, either, that "sound effects" and "electronics" are too similar to be both listed. Atlantik (talk) 15:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that last is the only bit I had a real problem with. Radiohead's music can be so experimental, that I don't have a real problem including both "electronics" and "sound effects", which could be very different things on one of their records. The other changes, I think, are fine. K. Scott Bailey 16:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Here are some figures on the amounts that people were willing to pay for the "in Rainbows" record. Reliable enough for inclusion? //Knuckles 08:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the "logo" from the infobox as Radiohead have no fixed logo, and it would be misleading (and ugly!) to place an image there.  The image used was simply the rendering of the band's name on the In Rainbows box.  I've also placed a notice in the infobox that images should not be used in the "Name" field.  Any objections? Papa November (talk) 10:37, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Excellent idea. This article always has problems with people trying to replace the "name" field with whatever their personal idea of what the band's logo SHOULD be- usually going back to the Kid A-style typeface, which hasn't been used on the merchandise since 2001. Radiohead have many logos, but no fixed one, and even if they did, it would be inappropriate and unprofessional to use in this encyclopedia context. If a band logo was of such importance, it should be placed on the page as an image, with a caption to explain its context and importance, not put as a heading at the top of the page as if this article is another piece of Radiohead merchandise. 172.163.213.199 (talk) 02:24, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmmm, seeing as there's an issue with this image, I could scan the bear myself from the Kid A Book that I own. At least the source wouldn't be an issue, and it'd also look neater (while keeping it at small resolution of course). Any thoughts? - Phorque (talk) 14:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's an easier solution if you're sure the image was copied directly from the booklet - there's no need to reupload it.  Instead, please can you update the image page with details of where it appears in the booklet along with the artist (Stanley Donwood) year of publication etc.  I'd do it myself, but I don't have my copy of Kid A handy.  I'll also create a low-detail SVG version of the image as an alternative, so we don't need to worry about scanning. Papa November (talk) 17:24, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, I've made an SVG version and added as much detail as I can to the Fair Use rationale.  If anyone can add more, that would be great :).  The poorly compressed JPEG version can safely be deleted soon. Papa November (talk) 17:57, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
