Talk:The Collectors (Canadian band)

Fair use rationale for Image:Grassandwildstrawberries.gif
Image:Grassandwildstrawberries.gif 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 13:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Better image needed
The image in this article is of Bill Henderson as an older man, and is not representative of the band "The Collectors". A photo of the band at the time would be great, if someone took one and was willing to upload it.&mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 13:20, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Biggest hit?
The article claims "The Collectors' biggest hit was their first single, 'Looking at a Baby',...". I question this; I was alive in the period, and my strong impression is that their "Lydia Purple" was a much bigger hit. Of course, memory is fickle, and it may depend on the area of Canada/North America/the world being surveyed, or on one's criterion. There is no cite for the statement. According to the article, the first song was #4 on a particular radio station, which by itself is insufficient to justify the claim. Total sales if both songs were released as singles would be better. I can think of other ways to rate their songs; the best would be a reliable source, a critic or historian, if such can be found after all these years. Failing that, I would replace the assertion of primacy with a short list of their songs that received major air play (not more than 2 or 3 I fancy), hopefully with a cite.I won't update the article for a bit as it would require some digging. If the original editor -- or anyone -- has more information, go for it! --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
