message: :Image:Branford Marsalis.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 17:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: No explanation of why he left the Tonight Show?  I thought there had been some controversy surrounding his departure, which would certainly be notable enough to include here. --ScreaminEagle 20:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Have deleted the following:
Among other endorsees such as Gerald Albright and Pete Christlib, Cannonball has found it's way into the hands of many high profile sax artists, taking the place of vintage Selmer, Yamaha and Yanagisawa horns.  Branford plays a Cannonball Big-Bell Stone Series "Raven" Alto (Model A5B-ICE-B) in frosted black-nickel featuring a new "Fat-Neck" design which is a silver plated lightweight, large-bore neck with an underslung octave mechanism and an octave pip located on the bottom of the neck. 
 
This is an encyclopedia, not a webpage, so I would imagine no-one will object. --Technopat (talk) 15:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think we need to specify he is an endorsee, but there is a parameter in infoboxes for notable instruments the musician is known to use. I think it is okay to include specific models in the biography he is known to use, see . (Mind meal (talk) 17:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

text: The Cannonball Raven has had a few revisions.  The current model that Branford plays is the A5.  The infobox should reflect specifically the A5B-ICE-B as the BICEB refers to a series of horns.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.200.76.160 (talk) 14:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone has added "rec - 1998" etc to several of the albums in the discography to show recording date. This isn't how we do it. In fact, adding this material invites others to continue adding. The album name, label, and year are sufficient. Please add nothing else. Other information belongs in the body text. Thanks for your cooperation. Vmavanti (talk) 23:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
