Talk:Bobby Robinson (record producer)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bobby Robinson.jpg
Image:Bobby Robinson.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 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 03:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

There may also be a conflict of interest, and the edits included promotional text which is not allowed under this guidance. If the editor concerned is indeed Mr. Robinson, I suggest that they read this helpful advice. I'm happy to assist in ensuring the article is both factually correct and within WP policy.

Does anyone have any documentation that the 101-111 issues on "Fire Recording Company" with an address in Bakersfield, Calif. had anything to do with Bobby Robinson? Steve Pastor (talk) 01:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Bobby Robinson
Oftentimes a rumor will spread like it's the gospel truth. It can get caught up in a political storm which if it doesn't get untangled it becomes etched in stone. Such is the case with Bobby Robinson's Happy House being declared the first Black-owned business on 125th Street.

What probably happened is that to save the building where Happy House was located the truth of it being one of the few Black-owned businesses in the 40's turned into it being the first Black-owned business on 125th Street.

But what does that do to the other Black-owned businesses that were before Robinson, like Morgan & Marvin Smith's Photography Studio next to the Apollo that opened in 1939?

So without discrediting Bobby Robinson I referenced a book that featured the Smith Brothers' photography studio, which would demonstrate at the least that there was one Black-owned business ahead of Bobby Robinson.

I don't want it to be confusing to the readers. So any suggestions on how I would convey that Robinson was not the first Black-owned business on 125th Street with the sources that are out there which simply indicate as such their place in time?

I'm looking for guidance on structuring the footnote so people understand what I'm doing or the purpose of the reference. Julius Tajiddin (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
