3384: 2104: 5539:(1) Sometimes, an editor can remove one older caption and then a newer one. (2) Even a caption might not ease my concerns about which portion or cover art is appropriate as lead image. (3) Lately, there has been a trend of eliminating captions from articles about most recent songs, especially when a cover art is universal. (4) Most album articles may not necessarily need a caption; unsure about song articles. (5) No point on adding a caption for an existing image if I'd replace an existing image with another one. 3760: 55: 909: 5506:

of a release, some of them more curious and willing to research further. Other readers ofa sing article would jump into conclusions and then... stop researching further... or just listen to the song over and over without having to research. Avoiding misinformation is a high priority, in my opinion. The consensus, I think, would consist of those wanting to attract mass appeal without consider accuracy and probably young'uns who are oblivious about much of history.

accepts. As I remember you have uploaded .ogg files before, I was going to upload the video (as .webm, which the uploader automatically converts) and am asking if you would be able to take the audio from this video and upload to Commons as .ogg files. The audio is of (peoples') names, nothing to do with file naming - that's the other part, it's maybe 10 names, so I could also split up the video to multiple uploads, one for each name.

I appreciate that you want to avoid misinformation, but why can't you just use a caption for the cover art? It'd be clear to our readers that the cover art wasn't used everywhere if a caption is added. Ignoring this, though, it still isn't acceptable to act unilaterally when you acknowledge that the

Hi, I remember you uploaded some cleaner audio of fair use songs a while back and I was wondering if you could help me out.

I'd love to stop if not for fears of misinforming and misleading general public into believing that a cover art is the standard artwork of a single release and if not for other editors omitting captions as "irrelevant" or "non-controversial".

Please consider posting your own notifications with PROD'd articles and files rather than relying on a bot to do this for you. I've found that FastilyBot doesn't always post notifications when it should and it is easier for the editor tagging the page to do it themself. Just use Twinkle to tag the

Not surprised. However, that also leads some editors into using (misleading) cover arts of parent albums using same names of songs, thinking that such cover arts would fool readers, especially without using captions. Millennials and newer generation, as I fear, probably wouldn't bother researching

5383:

Reading FFD discussions, I figured that pro-cover arts people will favor keeping them. I'd refrain from re-nominating them for now until a lot of time passes. Of course, there are other songs to consider, but if I were you, I'd focus more on pre-1980s single releases if you wanna continue with the

Ok, there's a free video. I have separated audio and saved it as .wav format, but the Commons uploader says it only takes a certain type of wav file and what I have is wrong... it's not working. I can't find a way to convert the audio to .ogg, which I think is the only other file type the uploader

regardless of where it was released in. Otherwise, if I couldn't find a free replacement, then I can go for a non-free portion of a release from the song's home country. Worse, even some album arts don't belong to any specific single release but rather a compilation album or a song's parent album.

I go through a lot of PROD'd files and I was wondering why you prefered a pretty bland image of a record over a more visually appealing album cover. If they are both non-free images used to illustrate the article subject, in an article about that subject, then I think our readers would prefer an

Many American singles lacked picture sleeves back in those pre-CD vinyl days, and old surviving singles occasionally or often have been traded from one generic sleeve to another. Even some picture sleeves were discarded for whatever reason, probably wear and tear, or the same reason listeners

I appreciate your preference for a cover art to illustrate a song, but various releases back then used either picture sleeves or generic ones. Many pre-1990s American vinyl releases and other overseas releases use generic sleeves. But then I figured that I can use free portion of any release,

Have you considered stopping your campaign against cover art altogether? This is not something that has community support (as has been evidenced at FFD) and if you want a general policy against it you should gain consensus for that, instead of citing NFCC (which again, the community does not

I still think vinyl labels should sufficiently help readers recognize specific American releases lacking official picture sleeves, but that's when no free alternatives exist at this point and when songs or singers come from the USA. Same if from other regions, like the UK or Australia.
