Talk:Music of Detroit

message: :Image:Motown.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.

message: This page has been extensively and enthusiastically edited, but the material added needs to include sources, and be checked over for spelling, punctuation etc. Sorry, I don't have the source material to do it. --AndrewHowse (talk) 18:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The image :Image:Circus1.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Circus1.jpg

message: This section contains exactly zero information about hip hop music in Detroit, it only talks about unreferenced and controversial so-called rivalries which are quite easily in violation of WP:BLP. This section needs to be fundamentally re-written to give some information about Detroit's hip hop music scene or it should be altogether deleted. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hip hop section 

message: This is a fun article to read, particularly if one happens to remember a lot of it personally; but large sections of it are poorly sourced or not sourced at all.  (Some of it reads like personal recollections, and may never be sourceable.)  It gets a bit "listy" in parts too, which is the death of decent prose.  I added the "references" template to the article today in the hope that folks might root around and find support for some of the material that's here.  I may also take a stab at cleaning up some parts of it and invite others to help as well.  JohnInDC (talk) 18:15, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  References, cleanup 

message: Houston and Cleveland make the same claim.  I've raised the issue at Talk:Performing_arts_in_Detroit#.22Second_largest_theater_district.22 and am suggesting removing the assertion from this and any other articles that say the same thing (barring I suppose stumbling across something more definitive).  I suggest we keep the conversation in one place, so I'm linking over to that one - thanks.  JohnInDC (talk) 02:28, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason why the people on the list are alphabetized by their first names?  Except for Icelanders, who, even in their phone books are done that way, on wikipedia list such as this are done by last name.  However before I make changes I thought I'd check.

message: An editor has repeatedly inserted a reference to this 1980s band, along with a YouTube link as a reference.  It has been removed as many times, for what seem to me to be several good reasons.  The band's notability is questionable, YouTube is not usually deemed a reliable source, and the content is arguably promotional.  Perhaps I'm wrong about these things.  Discuss!  Thanks.
