Fair use rationale for Image:Taproot Blue Sky Research.jpg
Image:Taproot Blue Sky Research.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 04:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

RAPCORE???
They never made rapcore! please listen to their songs first before you change it to rapcore(RAP METAL)! they just sing and never raped! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.167.213.225 (talk) 10:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

you've obviously never heard their pre-gift works. their first two (independent) albums (before Gift) had some rap/rock type stuff. 66.38.19.158 (talk) 20:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

BTW: Rapped has two "P's". I would hope too that the fine young men of Taproot never raped either. 208.24.252.14 (talk) 20:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Gift album name
Is the gift album just called "Gift"? on the front cover it says in blue lettering above the word gift in white: "yesterdayishistorytomorrowisamysterytodayisa..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dark wounds (talk • contribs) 16:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

it is shown basically everywhere as just 'Gift'. 66.38.19.158 (talk) 14:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup
Holy crap this thing needs some grammatical cleanup. I'm a relatively new user, though, so how do you put a 'cleanup needed' disclaimer in an article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.86.226.30 (talk) 07:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

-- Agreed. This article is terrible and doesn't conform to encyclopedic style in any way, shape or form. It reads like it was written by an eighth grader who is describing his garage band for a school report.

Lede
Hi @User:Clay...Bill Clay, you are now engaged in an edit war with me about the wording of the lede; please stop and discuss the issue instead. I don't think it is necessary to mention that the band had other hits in the 90s. "Poem" was their most notable song, and in my opinion, it is sufficient to include that in the lede.

 * Yeah I think either keep it like this (only mentioning the 1 song) or not mentioning it at all (since it gets mentioned in the next paragraph anyway). Either way, not much use mentioning "other singles" and linking the discography page since none of those singles sadly ever came close to Poem's popularity (Calling was closest but not by much).
