Talk:Vanessa Bell Armstrong

Suspect biography
Hey, someone added a really nice biography to the article, but it sounds like it was lifted directly from her record company, and I don't think that's allowed. Can someone rewrite it perhaps? Hopefully, someone besides me? :-) Souldier77 19:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Fear of disappearing album cover galleries & lists
OK, this is just fair warning, for anybody who loves the discography gallery:

For those of you who remember a recent upset where "fair use laws" were enforced and those who didn't comply had their photos deleted from the page? Well it looks like the next annoying wave of Wikipedia policy enforcement is going to be wiping out "non-free" images from galleries and lists. The first victim was the Yolanda Adams discography that I spent some personal time working on. Their justification per Non-free content and Non-free content criteria is that "non-free" images within galleries are "considered decorative." So some administrators are going through and sweeping out all photos from lists and galleries such as discographies and videographies, etc. So if you've done any work that you really value, I suggest that you take a backup copy of the photos or otherwise archive it yourself. Wikipedia is not being friendly about these things for whatever reason. Souldier77 17:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I have found that if you use the images on the artist page and add the following Fair Use Statement to the image's page you can get past the Fair use bots.

Fair use in Yolanda Adams
Though this copyrighted image's use is permissible according to U.S. fair use laws for the following reasons:
 * 1) This is a low resolution version of the album/single cover.
 * 2) The inclusion of this image does not damage the image's owner's right to sell the album/single.
 * 3) This cannot feasibly be used to create illegal copies of the album/single.
 * 4) The image relates directly to a mention of the recording in the article.
 * 5) This image was made famous by Yolanda Adams and is therefore significant to this article.

 * It also helps if you place your images in a category. If you don't establish one for the artist you can always use Category:Gospel albums.
