Talk:Kristofferson (album)

Fair use rationale for Image:KristoffersonAlbumCover.jpg
Image:KristoffersonAlbumCover.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 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 05:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

name
IMO the name is wrong. Its one of my favourite albums and I wouldn't recognise the lead picture or the album title of "Kristofferson (album)". I presume its well known by that name in the USA. Victuallers (talk) 09:10, 21 July 2021 (UTC)


 * There is a redirect from Me and Bobby McGee (album) and the Me and Bobby McGee reissue name is bolded in the lede and the Me and Bobby McGee reissue album cover comes up soon in the article and there is an xref hatnote on the Me and Bobby McGee song article to here. So as a practical matter I think readers will be able to find it and recognize it under the title where it is.  As for what it should be under the WP:AT guidelines, I don't know.  Existing WP practice seems to favor using the original title – see David Bowie (1969 album) and Make It Happen (Smokey Robinson and the Miracles album) and Fred Neil (album) for examples.  Although I do see I Heard It Through the Grapevine (album) as a counterexample.  Wasted Time R (talk) 10:49, 21 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, it is the original release name (and in most books that discuss Kristofferson, such as the cited ones, it is referred to by that name). Obviously, the success of the album as Me and Bobby McGee proved that the suits made a good call with cashing on Janis' version.-- GDuwen  Holler!  13:52, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
