Fair use rationale for Image:F margo.jpg
Image:F margo.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 06:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Some suggested updates

 * 1) Should the 2016 29 Demos Double album, which is set to be repressed and released on 12/10/21 be added in the text introduction? I'm not clear that the cassette version has an special significance and is mentioned?
 * 2) The sequence here is troubling. To the best of my ability, I've not been able to find anything that verifies Margo's employment with MJQ to immediately after her attendance at either the 1959 or 1960 Lenox_School_of_Jazz for Jazz. Yes, her lyrics for Lonely Woman and Anita Day's "I want to Sing A Song" were written between 1959-1962 so at best this was a publishing contract rather than employment. Even if thats what it says in the CD Booklet that is linked as a reference. I don't have access to iTunes to check that reference/citation but I assume its the CD booklet. As far as I can establish, the only verifiable date I could find was a brief mention “The heritage encyclopedia of band music : composers and their music” by William H. Rehrig, "Guryan joined the staff of MJQ [Modern Jazz Quartet] Music in 1968". I’m not clear if this was just briefly or in parallel, but in January 1968, it was announced that Margo had joined April/Blackwood as a writer and lyricist. Margo was with Creed Taylor from the fall of 1960 through to the time he left Verve in the fall of 1967.
 * 3) This means the whole Frishberg episode was actually after Margo left Taylor, and before Guryan/Rosner produced Frishbergs Oklahoma Toad album and took it to Taylor in 1970 to publish.
 * 4) I don't know where wikipedia stands on publishing denials, but a frequent claim about Margo is that she either design, or conceived the Impulse! logo. She has denied this many times, I've written to the Gove dictionary of music and asked them to update. Can we add a denial here in the form of "Guryan is often attributed as the creator of the Impulse! logo etc.  It's as described in the Impulse!_Records entry. When Fran Scott quit Impulse to travel overseas with her husband, Tony_Scott_(musician), Guryan was hired by Taylor and sat at Scott's desk in his office but Margo wanted it know she didn't invent, conceive or design the logo. I've asked the Grove Dictionary of American music to remove their claim she concieved the log.
 * 5) It's disappointing that Margo is not listed as an attendee/student at the Lenox_School_of_Jazz as she was one of the few to attend twice.
 * 6) I've written all this up here: https://www.ctproduced.com/margo-guryan-more-than-sunday-mornin/ - I have tons of additional sources for citations, if anyone else feels these issues should be addressed and the sources in the article are insufficient.

Infobox may have been vandalized
The infobox at top right says that she was married to "Francisco Colmenero (?-2021)" but (A) Francisco Colemenero is not mentioned anywhere else in the article; (B) the article implies many times that she had a different husband, David Rosner, who died in 2017; and (C) the Wikipedia article on Francisco Colmenero mentioned a different person as being Francisco Colmenero's one and only wife. That's the case that this is vandalism.2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 23:09, 24 November 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
