Talk:Upon This Rock (Larry Norman album)

Fair use rationale for Image:UponThisRock.jpg

Image:UponThisRock.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Annie, Matthew & Nelly

The personnel section is questionable to begin with, but crediting "Annie, Matthew & Nelly" (aka The Second Chapter of Acts) has to be false. They were not performing in any capacity as early as 1969. The only way they could have participated in this album is by adding their voices to a later reissue, and even that's doubtful. --Ftg3plus4 (talk 10:23, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Oh, my stars, the quotations!

This article is incredibly bloated with unnecessary quotations. Through education and experience, it is taught and practiced that quotations rarely have a proper place in encyclopedia writing. There are some exceptions, but they are few. For example, some quotations are famous and might be the reason for the article, as in "Let there be light." In its article "Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Quoting," Harvard University instructs students, "The basic rule in all disciplines is that you should only quote directly from a text when it's important for your reader to see the actual language used by the author of the source." Otherwise, quotations should be paraphrased accurately and given a proper source for support. What has happened in this article goes beyond the issue of using unnecessary quotations. In this article, quotations have been used as a substitute for legitimate content to attempt to give the article relevance. I will paraphrase quotations that are relevant to the article as long as there are proper sources to support them. Quotations that do not warrant paraphrasing because they do not add important information will be deleted. Many of the quotations are nothing more than peacock language, and those will be removed. As always, I encourage veteran editors to jump in and assist in improving this article that is almost entirely dependent upon quotations. I am sure that together we can fix it! All the best to all of you. MarydaleEd (talk) 19:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

UPDATE: Editing for this article took hours and was exhausting because almost none of the sources could be found after, again, hours of searching. Those that could be found made no mention of the text it was supposed to support. I tightened the text and paraphrased when necessary, even though most of the quotations ended up being pointless and not acquainted with encyclopedia style of summarizing the subject using facts presented in the most direct way using the fewest but strongest words possible. I located proper sources for all content. I am glad I was able to bring this article, short as it is, into proper Wikipedia style. MarydaleEd (talk) 03:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
