Orphaned non-free image (Image:Final cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Final cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Josh Freese
Josh Freese was never a member of Social Distortion. He is a professional studio musician who has played on literally hundreds of albums by dozens of different acts, but he has only been a member of a handful of groups. He should not be listed amongst the members in List of Social Distortion band members, as he has never been a member of the band. He was hired as a studio musician to play on the 1 album, as the band did not have a permanent drummer at that time. That's all. This can be mentioned in the lead, but he doesn't belong in the list/table/graphs as he was never a member of Social Distortion at any point. --IllaZilla (talk) 23:14, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I added Josh as he was the drummer who actually played on HT&NR, just as Deen Castronovo played WLWHWT. Deen was never part of the band, and I don't think he was even given credit in the liner notes, where Josh was.  Deen is listed as a member of the band on the Wiki page, and in the table, so that is why I included Josh.  For that matter, Ron Emery and some of the others listed have never "officially" been part of Social D, Emery just filled in for Mike Ness on the road when Ness broke his wrist in 2005/06....


 * I was just following precedent here, I don't really care one way or the other, it should just be consistent.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deadliner (talk • contribs) 12:30, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine, I was just giving you a heads-up. If you see other errors in there, feel free to fix them. Perhaps it would be a good idea to create a section for fill-in/studio musicians who've worked with the band, and that's where these people could be listed. That's what I did in List of Misfits band members and it seemed to work well. But yeah, guys who were just temporary fill-ins or studio help, and not actual "members" of the band, shouldn't go in the infobox or the timeline graph. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:45, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
