Fair use rationale for Image:Rockridgemusic.jpg

Image:Rockridgemusic.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 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 04:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to add a video interview with Tom Derr to external links. He is speaking about Rock Ridge Music. Here is the interview. Ammosh11 20:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Discography

To my opinion is the long list of albums advertising. A list of notable albums would be acceptable (when not too long) but this looks more like an ordering catalogue. The Banner talk 20:36, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

In that case, feel free to cut down. The format I've seen and thought made the most sense in the past was putting "wall of text" size discographies on a separate page (ie. SST Records), and then either have a list of just notable releases on the main page, or work notable releases into a little prose paragraph. I will say that from the perspective of someone interested in music history, being able to scan dates and artists of the label's releases (and better yet, to have the organizable columns) can be very informative.

I was bold and followed the sst example; the selected discography on the main page is still pretty sizable, but it also functions more or less as an artist list. (though I'll finish adding the artist list to the template, which'll make having a full one on the page more moot) Earflaps (talk) 16:11, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

You can cut even further in this list of albums, as only three albums are considered notable (= have their own article). A band is not so relevant for a record company, as bands sign, leave and disappear. The Banner talk 18:43, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I've never heard that argument about relevancy elsewhere, but I suppose it might be true. I'll cut it down some. Earflaps (talk) 22:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
