Talk:The Briefs

WHEREABOUTS OF DANNY TRAVANTI

First of all, wow, a lot of great people have contributed magnificently to this article. When I wrote the first little blurb, I did not expect Briefs fans to pull together so well to create such a wonderful article or series of articles - the discography bit is great.

Dan "Holy Shit I'm A Sweaty Bastard" Travanti is currently AWOL and the explanation given in this article is less than encyclopedic. Anyone know what that brilliant son of a bitch is up to? Last I heard he was doing something like producing in California? Anyone back me up on this? Or is he actually training to be an astronaut? Clarification and cited sources pleez.

TRIVIA QUIBBLES

Whoever added the trivia about their gear should please wikify that section.--The reverend 19:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone should also clean it up factually. The sequence "Steve Plays a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway. Known as the 'Junior' or 'Special' model," for instance, is immediately problematic. The Les Paul Junior and the Les Paul Special are (or, at least, were in the 50s and 60s) two distinct guitars: the former has one P-90 pickup and an unbound fretboard, while the latter has two P-90s and a bound fretboard. (There are some other distinctions I'm forgetting at the moment.) To suggest that the terms Junior and Special are interchangeable here is just wrong. From the picture above, it looks like Steve is playing a double-cutaway Junior; assuming it's not a very beat-up reissue, it's from 1959 or 1960. But someone who's familiar with both the Briefs' gear and such guitar minutiae should go over this. Blotzer 22:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Records stealyerheart.jpg

Image:Records stealyerheart.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 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.
