Authorial info

These WP pages on Doors' songs do not list the authors of the songs. What could be more important to a fan? Hilarleo ^Hey,L.E.O. 19:55, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Youtube Classic albums link

Jusdafax: Linking an unofficial upload of a portion the documentary Classic Albums: The Doors is a likely copyvio. WP:ELNEVER adivses: "External links to websites that display copyrighted works are acceptable as long as the website is manifestly run, maintained or owned by the copyright owner; the website has licensed the work from the owner; or it uses the work in a way compliant with fair use ... This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as Scribd, WikiLeaks, or YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates copyright [emphasis in original]". It was uploaded by acidinurmind, who doesn't show any official connection to the Classic producers, the video company, nor the Doors. This is analogous to a fan uploading a scene from a film or a track from an album and assumes the work is in the public domain. Classic Albums: The Doors is a relatively recent commercial production[1] and, unless there are reliable sources to the contrary, should be treated as under copyright. Propose to remove the link if there are no objections. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the section and link I added per your comment and suggestion. Its a shame, because the segment illustrates the composition extremely well. Is there any further confirmation? Thanks. Jusdafax (talk) 00:55, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Just because the upload shouldn't be linked, doesn't mean that the documentary can't be cited. I went ahead and replaced cite web Youtube with {{cite AV media}}. For the ref |time=, do you know when Krieger explains it in the original documentary? In the uploaded segment, it begins at 1:53 and lasts until 2:38. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Certifications section appears to be cited wrongly

I find it hard to believe this single ever sold a quarter million in Germany, even during the 1991 revival that coincided with the Oliver Stone movie. The citation appears to be wrongly applied, in that there is no mention of the Doors in it, though admittedly my knowledge of German is hardly fluent. I propose that the section be removed unless someone comes up with a better citation. My attempts have yeilded nothing. Jusdafax (talk) 22:33, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no objection after 3 weeks, I have deleted the section. Please restore if proper sourcing can be added. Jusdafax (talk) 23:35, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Krieger Riff

This article said Robby’s riff in Break On Through was inspired by Paul Butterfield’s Shake Your Moneymaker. I’m a guitarist who plays all that stuff & can hear no such similarity. 71.196.113.246 (talk) 18:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
