Fair use rationale for Image:Jan Akkerman.jpg
Image:Jan Akkerman.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 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 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.

The citations required for this page, especially for his interest in medieval and Renaissance music etc, is as follows: Randall, David: Jan Akkerman - In and Out of Focus, SAF Publishing, London, 2003. For some reason I can't get the page to accept this as a reference. Grateful for assistance.--Wessexboy (talk) 21:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Amsterdam Music Lyceum
In the present (18-01-2021) text Akkerman is said to have attended the Amsterdam Music Lyceum. This never happened. Akkerman did study with a private teacher in his childhood years and attended the Schröder Institute in his teens, a music academy, but did not finish it. Since his teens he has been a professional musician. First professional band was the Friendship Sextet when he was 12. For details, check his biography by David Randall, In and out of focus: the music of Jan Akkerman and Focus. --Hansung02 (talk) 20:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Brainbox
Bert Ruiter is mentioned (18-01-2021) as co-founding member of Dutch band Brainbox. This is nonsense. Ruiter never had anything to do with Brainbox, he played in Focus and later in Earth & Fire where his wife Jerney Kaagman was the singer. I deleted his name and replaced it with André Reijnen, the original bassplayer of Brainbox. --Hansung02 (talk) 21:47, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
