Talk:El Vez

Graciasland
As far as I know, Graciasland is not particularly a reference to Paul Simon, but, as in the Paul Simon song, to Elvis's estate. - Jmabel | Talk 05:24, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Vez is occasion, not time
Time is tiempo en Spanish. Vez normally goes together with "una vez", which translates as "once uppon a time" or closer to the idea of "at some point (in time)". El Vez, which is correctly described as ungrammatical, translate better as "the occurrence". It really doesn't matter since the main joke is that it is a play on word on Elvis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.173.142.227 (talk) 23:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that should be deleted. It's common knowledge that "El Vez" is a play on "Elvis."24.177.37.156 (talk) 20:58, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Cover art
I would like to restore the images of Graciasland and Graceland. I think it falls well within fair use. The article mentions that the cover art of Graciasland is a play on that of Graceland. I think that mention qualifies as (minimal) critical commentary, which would make these appropriate illustrations. I realize it's a borderline case, but the statement about one cover being a play on the other doesn't mean much without showing the covers, and the nature of the parody is immediately clear when they are placed side by side. - Jmabel | Talk 20:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The images lack the critical commentary necessary for them to be considered fair use per the acceptable uses section, Non-free content: "Cover art from various items, for identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary).", and from the unacceptable uses section, Non-free content: "An album cover as part of a discography".

 * OK. Not worth fighting over. If anyone ever properly writes an article here, instead of the slightly-more-than-stub we've got, I'd urge them to get into the issue of visual appropriation and to restore either this or a similar example. - Jmabel | Talk 23:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Recent activity (2005–present)
I removed an empty section by that title, but we probably need a non-empty one. I checked recent page history, and there was no mass-deletion of actual material in the section, it's just been sitting there pointlessly empty. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:53, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
