Talk:Planet Rock (radio station)

I read somewhere that GCap did not own this station fully, but actually owned a very small share of it. This is not made clear here, and in fact (after a search on google) it doesn't seem to be too clear on the net either. Could someone please clarify this?

Since the music single and album of the same name preceeded the digital radio station, shouldn't "Planet Rock" point to them? Robotam 10:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

not trying to be funny--I'd like to know your rationale for deleting whole swaths of edits on Planet Rock without discussing. I can be as wrong as the next wiki, so I'll gladly concede if you can show cause. Otherwise, the edits should stay.Robotam 03:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

no one has responded to my issue. I am reverting, but I seriously would like some input on this. If there is another way to deal with it, let's do it. Robotam 13:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I tried to clean this up without slamming anyones hard work. hope it works. Robotam 14:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Anon Dude, thanks for your input. the link is not improper, a mistake, or out of the ordinary.  the disambiguation page is there for a reason. A disambig page is proper when a single term can be associated with more than one topic.  The way the page was created sent you to a disambig page which linked back to the original page, in addition to other meanings.  A wiki user searching for "Planet Rock" is just as likely to be searching for one of the other meanings as the digital radio station.  This way, the radio station is not hidden, and neither are the other uses of the term. See other examples here and here.  Thanks! -Robotam 14:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Planet Rock
thanks for the clarification on "Planet Rock." Howewver the point still is true, and looking at the links, there are more than a couple that have nothing to do with the radio station that point directly to Planet Rock. Without even getting to the user pages, the links that intend to point to something other than the radio station are close if not equal to those pointing to the radio station:

Radio Station Led Zeppelin, Rick Wakeman, Leicester Square, Alice Cooper, Ian Anderson (musician), Sky Digital (UK & Ireland), List of radio stations in the United Kingdom , Power FM 98.1 FM, B-Rock 99.3FM, New FM, GCap Media, Nick Abbot, Digital One, Core (radio station), Nicky Horne, Winchburgh, Image:Planetrock.jpg, Planet Rock (Radio Station) (redirect page)

Other than Radio Station Timeline of trends in music (1980-1989), Music history of the United States (1980s to the present), Electro (music), Chris Barbosa, Timeline of trends in music from the United States (1970-present), John Benitez, Arthur Baker (musician), Planet Rock (disambiguation), Talk:Generation X/Archive01, Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable songs/10, Warrior princess, Winchburgh, Image:Planetrock.jpg, Frosty Freeze

If you think I did a crappy job of creating the page and links, I'll completely accept that critique and and get an admin to do it in a more proper way, but IMO, the topic clearly warrants the Topic "Planet rock" pointing to a disambig page. I'm fine with RfC or mediation as well, if you wish.-Robotam 19:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Planetrock.jpg
Image:Planetrock.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
