Fair use rationale for Image:The Beta Band.jpg

Image:The Beta Band.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 this Wikipedia article 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 Wikipedia: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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Three E.P.'s

While the misused apostrophe pains me, I'm afraid that, according to my copy, this is how the CD is punctuated: I've changed it on all the relevant pages ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 21:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

"It was when living...."

the para that starts thus, in the 'formation' section of the article.... breathless rush that it is, I can't make head or tail of the anecdote.

can someone that knows the sequence of events & can verify them to wikipedia's absurdly high standards take a swing at fixing it? ta. duncanrmi (talk) 23:49, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

'Their style was described as being "folktronica"'

I can't find any evidence that this band is considered folktronica or has ever been by any reliable sources. This claim has been on this page since its first revision from over 20 years ago, unsourced, then claiming that they described themselves as folktronica (which I can't find a source for). Over time, the claim has changed to them self-describing as folk hop, to them being generally described as folk hop after a citation needed was added, to them being generally described as folktronica, and that's where it has stayed since 2009.

In the 15 years since, a source has never been added, although now if you search online for "beta band" "folktronica" you can find a couple of websites that have copy pasted the band description from here, and if they haven't, it's very possible that they read the opening of this Wikipedia article describing them as folktronica and called them folktronica because of that. If you narrow it down to just sources from before 11 February 2009, when the claim was added in its current state, none of them are describing The Beta Band as folktronica, they just happen to mention both.

In respect of this, I am removing the claim; the conception of this band as 'folktronica' seems to me to be something entirely manufactured by Wikipedia, and it would be best to not have it here any longer. --Michaelofg (talk) 11:32, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
