Talk:Casablanca Records

Brie Larson

I personal think that Brie Larson was not a main act, but Lindsay was. Beagle, 10:41 August 16, 2006

This Wikipedia article needs much work

As its stands it is a total travesty. Where is the content about the 70s and 80s? No-one is frankly interested in some half-baked relaunch with no-name artistes.

I agree with the poster above that the page is very confusing and needs a good re-write, and I have no bias for old vs. new like he/she does. I don't know anything about Casablanca, so I hope an expert can help here. The History section is weak. I thought the Intro actually did a better job of telling the history than the History section itself. 1) Provide more clear delineation for which text was about old vs. new Casablanca. 2) What years did it exist in the first incarnation? 3) For old incarnation: Consider adding topics like: What band/single was their first breakthrough? What hit was really their climax? What human or market factors led to their rise? What human or market factors led to their eventual decline? Look at other Wikipedia pages for examples 4) For new incarnation: There must be something more relevant to say about its history. The page currently discusses the history of only one band (a no-name band with an anticlimactic story). Why focus on that band if the new incarnation also had some big names and releases? 5) This sentence is bizarre: "Not wanting to risk pregnancy so soon, Karla decided to leave as well". I don't understand. She can't stay in the band without getting pregnant? This could be clarified, but much better yet, the whole paragraph deleted. 6) Add old releases to Releases section --Catapultsam 15:28, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

You may want to talk to anyone left at Insane - the late Jerry Mangalos worked with Bogart before moving on to work at Arista with Clive Davis. I met one gentleman when I talked with Jerry a few years back. I'm sure someone like that may be able to give insight, or at least what Jerry's opinion was, concerning Casablanca back in the day.

Rumors don't belong

Rumors don't belong on wikipedia, if they do they need a source Markthemac 04:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Casablanca logo.jpg

Image:Casablanca logo.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.

Additional artists/Album releases

I came upon a promotional 1978 "Munich Machine - A Whiter Shade of Pale" with Casablanca Record and Film Works label in my collection. I suspect it was a one off. Apparently there are more out there, see http://www.discogs.com/Munich-Machine-Introducing-Chris-Bennett-A-Whiter-Shade-Of-Pale/release/84248

Orphaned references in Casablanca Records

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Casablanca Records's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "bio.":

• From Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay Lohan biography". UK: The Biography Channel. Archived from the original on June 18, 2012. Retrieved March 19, 2010. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
