Fair use rationale for Image:Crowded House-Woodface (album cover).jpg
Image:Crowded House-Woodface (album cover).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 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 23:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Why Crowded House never made it big in the U.S.A.
Whatever the reasons, it had nothing to do with the lyrics of the song "Chocolate Cake" - the assertion that critics or the public found the song insulting needs citation. Frankly, it's a ridiculous idea.

Crowded House - Australian or New Zealand Band
I object to Crowded House being referred to as a New Zealand band. Two of the three founding members were Australian and they were based in Melbourne. How about 'Australian and New Zealand band Crowded House'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.220.147 (talk) 10:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I concur. Crowded House were/are an Australian band. But any discussion of them should also recognise that the principal singing/songwriting/guitar-strumming contributions were from NZ artists. These issues would be better canvassed in the Crowded Houselink. If it is necessary to specify a nationality here, "Antipodean" might be a better choice of words. I would call them a rock/pop band, rather than a rock band.


 * Not that I give much of a toss, but I don't think you can legitimately say that they "were/are" an Australian band when the creative force (Neil Finn) is NZ. Of the two original Australian members, once killed himself and the other has been in-again, out-again. At one stage there were no Australians in the band at all. Currently, there is one Aussie, a Yank and two Kiwis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.134.134.149 (talk) 05:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

typical Australians, trying to claim New Zealand's own. I suppose you think the pavlova is yours too? and Russel Crowe in an Aussie not a New Zealander?

the banter is in good faith :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Real Beef (talk • contribs) 15:51, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Neil Finn himself has said that they were a "proud Australian band". Formed in Melbourne, based in Melbourne. Here is the link; http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10407272 MadMark80 (talk) 09:33, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Tall Trees
When this album came out, there was a cereal called Cini Mini Buns. They ran a promotion where you sent the proof of purchase for a promotional cassette. One of the cassettes had "Tall Trees" on one side, and Roxette's "Joyride" on the other. Should this be noted in the article?

 * Only if you can find a web article from a reputable source. As long as it's got a good reference there would be no problem. Seriously though, people bought something called Cini Mini Buns?!? Iangurteen (talk) 07:58, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Capitalization
The song "As Sure as I Am" has a capitalized "Am" in this article. Is this correct? Shouldn't it be "am"? --Gereon K. (talk) 11:28, 15 April 2022 (UTC)


 * No. Don't you know how titling conventions work in English? The initial letter of the first word is capitalised, and thereafter the initial letter of each subsequent word is capitalised; unless it is an Indefinite (a/an) or Definite Article (the), or a small word such as of.
