message: :Image:Mdae.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: Image copyright problem with Image:Picture of Dominos (without Allman).jpg

message: I'm trying to determine whether Gordon (who is still in prison) is still earning royalties from his recordings. The latest source I've found is from 2007 (http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/2007/1/2007_1_48.shtml; third-last paragraph), which isn't recent enough to substantiate a statement in the Wikipedia article. Any Gordon fans out there know of a reputable source that is current? RedActor61 (talk) 06:21, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He will always get the royalty payments - however - he is not really able to  utilize them while incarcerated - pay attorney fees would be allowed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.31.53 (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

message: From what I can find there is a different James Gordon.  What's really confusing is that this James Gordon also worked with Delaney & Bonnie so it's easy to understand the confusion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.90.200.207 (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did this Jim Gordon actually work with John Lennon? 

message: I see that you just lopped Randy Newman off Gordon’s “Assoociated acts” list. Probably a good idea but the rational of “one album is not so closely associated” can be applied to a lot of the other acts listed there, some of which might even fall into the “one song” category.  Gordon was an actual band member of Delaney, Bonnie & Friends, Derek and the Dominos, Traffic, the Souther–Hillman–Furay Band, and seems to have been the regular drummer for the Incredible Bongo Band, but most of the rest of the list seems to me to be a song-here-and-there, maybe a whole album, maybe just a few cuts.  With Harrison’s All Things Must Pass albums he is one of four drummers listed.  On Nilsson’s Nilsson Schmilsson he plays on half the tracks.    That leaves these folks. Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Alice Cooper, Bread, the Everly Brothers, the Beach Boys, the Beau Brummels,  Mason Williams, Gene Clark, the Byrds, Frank Zappa, Souther–Hillman–Furay Band, Dave Mason,   Gordon Lightfoot, David Ackles, John Lennon, The Carpenters.  Maybe keep Joe Cocker because of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen legend, maybe not. I would favor removing all these acts from the info-box based on your rational. To try and cram a session player’s whole career into such a place is hubris. Carptrash (talk) 01:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the direction you suggest. The guideline for this stuff is at :Template:Infobox musical artist#associated_acts, which directs us to list only the most important connections, not one-offs and session work. Binksternet (talk) 01:38, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Shows as 76, with DOB July 14 (which has come and gone).
I could not edit it, b/c the age seems to be auto-generated (but is incorrect). 66.177.251.92 (talk) 01:53, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

message: Strictly speaking, there is no MEDICAL diagnosis of schizophrenia. No biological or anatomical test confirms such a diagnosis. It’s a matter of psychiatric opinion of normal or abnormal behaviors, just as used to be the case with homosexuality. On psychiatry, as on many subjects, Wikipedia has a bias in favor of contemporary mores and conventional wisdom. Dissidents are assumed to be wrong unless they represent certain ideological views. Consensus has no place in science, or to quote Feynman, "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." He referred to psychiatrists as “witch doctors .” That skepticism is disallowed on Wikipedia. Nicmart (talk) 19:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

message: There are a number of instances of the code '&bnsp;'.  I assume this was intended to be the non-breaking space code ' '.  I do not have an account, so maybe someone who *does* might care to fix this. (Actually I don't know why they didn't just use a simple space - ' ' is generally used when multiple spaces are desired.) 82.7.30.167 (talk) 10:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
