Talk:Charlie Patton

message: The two version of the name are both used in the article (the title is Charlie while the first line reads Charley). Does anyone know, clearly, which it is? The image used clearly reads "The Best of Charlie Patton." I've seen both names used interchangably all over the internet, but there has to be a right or a wrong to it and I think the article should be cleaned up to reflect a single spelling. Liontamarin
I've seen it used both ways interchangably in dozens of publications.  I don't think there is a single right or wrong way.  Personally I've seen "Charley" more often.  All references should be changed to one of them in the article, and the other can serve as a redirect.Jhayes94 18:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Charley vs. Charlie 

message: Any reason not to include a full discography of his 78rpm releases, ie with matrix & catalogue numbers?   I have the information here (from D&G); would there be any copyright issues...?   --RobHutten 19:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Took the information from the extensive german article. Any completions concerning the partially lacking release dates would be very welcome. Denisoliver 15:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discography 

message: There is some doubt whether there are any surviving pictures of Charley Patton, and whether the picture of Charley Patton that appears on albums of his recordings is actually him. David Honeyboy Edwards, as of 2006 the last living person who knew Charley Patton well, insisted in a 2005 interview in Mojo that the man depicted in that picture (which appears in the article) was not Patton.

:Thats ridiculous. Contemporary ads show drawings of his face and all drawings clearly base on this photography. Descriptions of him by many other eyewitnesses clearly match. The only problem is: the photography is not free. Its copyright is owned by John Tefteller. Denisoliver 17:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But the grainy half-toned image discovered by Maxey Tarpley back in the ... '70s?  would be in the public domain, wouldn't it?  I'm pretty sure Tefteller's rights to the original photograph wouldn't apply to reproductions from a print advertisement from the '30s.  --RobHutten 19:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can we cut some picture of Patton from Crumb's Patton comic and put it on this article? Are we allowed to do that? --128.214.205.4 13:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

text: OK, I asked Crumb's website. Let's see what they say... It may take some time before they answer --128.214.205.6 15:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: They did not answer anything. I think this is worse than "No". I hate it when people ignore e-mails. --128.214.205.4 09:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: They contain the photograph and thus are derivative works too. Denisoliver 11:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The mentioned photograph from 1908 is not authentic. It is a hoax. Denisoliver 00:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: WP:FUC, Point 2: "The material must not be used in a manner that would likely replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media; our use of copyrighted material should not make it so that one no longer needs to purchase the actual product. Large copyrighted photographs from agencies that make their income selling photographs, for example, would likely not be "fair use" as it would be undermining the ability of the copyright holder to make money from their work."

thread_title:  Photograph controversy 

message: The correct spelling of his name is Charley. The article's name and his name in all places in the article should be corrected.

thread_title: Best version on Britannica

message: I don't understand the phrase in the lead "one of the oldest known figures of American popular music."  Wouldn't that description better fit someone such as Stephen Foster or Edwin Pearce Christy?  78.26 (talk) 17:43, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
