I removed several lines which I felt were not NPOV from the article, which I assume is autobiographical. FYI Wikipedia as a rule discourages autobiographies (see guidelines) but you seem to have done a pretty good job with this for the most part. You also don't really qualify for inclusion based on the guidelines for musicians but you're close enough, especially since the second album seems to have been well-received, that I didn't mark the article for deletion. Try to keep the tone of your article factual and verifiable, and you should have no problems. Regards, -- howcheng  [ talk &#149; contribs &#149; web ] 17:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

File:Fergus McCormick Cover Photo.jpg needs authorship information
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Fergus McCormick Cover Photo.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).


 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:44, 3 June 2016 (UTC) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:44, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Please claim your upload(s): File:Fergus McCormick Cover Photo.jpg
Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as own, amending the information added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:44, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
