White Castle TV Commercial
I remember the Serendipity Singers did a TV commercial for White Castle in the early 1980s (or maybe the very late 1970s).

I recall only four singers (?2 male & 2 female?) featured in the commercial.

Perhaps, if proper sourcing is located, this could be added to the article.

External Links to Youtube copies of copyright material
Have you checked these Youtube links are not to copies of other's copyright material?, per WP:LINKVIO. Widefox ; talk 22:47, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * That's backwards. Are you aware of any problem?  Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 23:05, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What's backwards, have those videos been uploaded to youtube by their copyright holders per WP:LINKVIO? Widefox ; talk 23:19, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * To avoid splitting, the main conversation is at my talk page. North8000 (talk) 12:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Where we're at
To be more specific, the "discussion" has been at  User talk:North8000 and User talk:North8000. I put quote marks around "discussion" because the "discussion" by the other person has consisted mostly of baseless, false, off-topic personal attacks against myself and others here and vague references to policies. IMHO the core question is:  "is there any specific reason think that there is a problem" and the other individual has never answered it or raised any specific issues. Keep mind that we're talking about links to off-wiki use, which means that an approach based on "everything is guilty until proven innocent" is not applicable. With this in mind, I'm suggesting that if any specific reasons for concern are noted, those should be reviewed and explored and that we do whatever should be done, including removal of links if required. And if you specific reasons for concern are noted, we should remove the tags related to that. What do y'all think on this? North8000 (talk) 14:57, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * My concern has been given several times - the suspected copylink violation has been correctly removed by me per WP:C / WP:LINKVIO, reinserted by you without checking the copyright issue despite the warning from me. I've tagged the exact links per WP:LINKVIO with "Copyvio link", and discussed as you say on your talk page (I agree here is a better location). Now we're all informed of this issue, the links can be removed by anyone at any time (and should be according to WP:C), accordingly the tags should only be removed by "administrators, copyright problems board clerks, and OTRS team members should remove tags". I've informed you already of that in my edit summary. Please don't encourage others to remove tags against policy when you've been explicitly informed in advance.

 * You are giving the same vagaries and continue to avoid answering the core question. Which is:  is there any specific reason think that there is a problem?  If you can indicate any specific problem or reason for concern, then what you are implying has no basis. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 01:15, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * It has always been against the rules to link to possible copyright-violation sites... and the burden of proof that anything is copyright-free is on the one who links or uploads it, NOT on someone else to disprove it. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:10, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The more common situation is not copy-right free, but with the permission of the owner. And this is, after all, off-wiki.  But either way, I just took out the external links section.   North8000 (talk) 11:32, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Links to potential copyright violations are not allowed. Good for you for de-linking them. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:21, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There was no indication of copyvio or even of reason for concern about such. I was more going on pragmatism....if two or more people feel otherwise, it's too minor of an issue to go into the more substantial debate that further pursuit would entail. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 13:58, 16 October 2012 (UTC).
 * Good that you removed the links. If you wish to pursue these links further, please take it to the appropriate noticeboard. This does not change it being your burden, and you are against consensus - so you must take copyright issues more seriously next time. Repeat offenders will be banned, OK? Widefox ; talk 15:01, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Quit the bogus crap which makes up the last 3/4 of your post and your edit summary. North8000 (talk) 15:54, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

B-class review
Failed for WP:BIO. Reasons: 1) not enough inline citations 2) no dedicated section for works/critical appraisal/reception. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:26, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
