Fair use rationale for Image:Paul Clayton.jpg
Image:Paul Clayton.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 07:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Biograph's mention of "Don't Think Twice"
In cleaning up uses of italics and quotes for song titles and the like, I noticed that within a quote from the liner notes of Dylan's Biograph set, the title of the song "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" was in italics. When I went to correct this, an in-line note indicated that this was how it appears in the liner notes, meaning it shouldn't be changed. I disagree. The publisher of the liner notes is free to use whatever conventions or editorial style they want (for example, all capital letters or single quotes), but that does not compel us to follow suit, as long as what we publish is true to the original from a substantive standpoint. In other words, we have no responsibility to convey the aesthetics of the original, only the specific content. Allreet (talk) 19:16, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Edits 6/21/11
First, the article is about Clayton, and most of the section about his relationship with Bob Dylan would be more appropriate to the latter's article, if anywhere. Vague hearsay ("another folksinger" from the Scaduto book) and speculative hearsay relative to the Mitchell and Dylan songs have no place in an encyclopedia - they are mere guesses in the cited sources and not especially important to Clayton's notability in any event. Clayton's homosexuality is sourced and covered earlier in the article; the Kornfeld quotation is superfluous and insignificant in the absence of an actual relationship. Given the breadth and importance of Clayton's career to actual folk music, the two sections on Dylan are easily conflatable into the single sourcable point about "Chickens/Don't Think Twice." (Also corrected the ref. to the actual source song, which was clearly not "Scarlet Ribbons.)Sensei48 (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
