Fair use rationale for Image:Michael Gira in Moscow by Cheslav Merk.jpg

Image:Michael Gira in Moscow by Cheslav Merk.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 ensure 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.

Personal life section?

M. Gira has a wife and a daughter (from what I know)

CRAVEONLINE: Who is that singing behind Devondra Bernhardt on “You Fucking People Make Me Sick”?

GIRA: That’s my three and half year old daughter

CRAVEONLINE: Really? She has a great voice.

GIRA: (Laughs) It’s interesting that song because unlike the others it really started from nothing. It started with tape loops and different odd sounds that had nothing to do with what ended up on the record. It was supposed to be just a one or two minute transitional piece but I kept building on it and moving it around and figuring out how to deal with it. I ended up with this little ditty in the middle so I went home and recorded my own voice and thought, “who do I sound like”.

Then it dawned on me I sounded like Devondra so I called him and he agreed to sing on it. That led to me thinking about other things so I got these mandolins, Grasshopper from Mercury Rev played about twenty tracks of mandolins. Aside from some christof arpeggios and some juice harps at the beginning there’s nothing left of what was there originally.

CRAVEONLINE: Devondra sounds just like you, I had no idea it was him when I first heard the song.

GIRA: It’s funny with that song because unless people are told they just think it’s me singing. I sent him a tape of the song and he sang my melody so I guess subconsciously he sang it in a lower registe

Accused rape?

Should we discuss Larkin Grimm's recent accusation in the article? I mean, just make it known, considering that it's a very hot topic. I know the whole bit about unsourced content about living people, but there are plenty of sources repeating the article. Maybe write in "controversy"? I'm willing to write the article, I just want the OK to do so. Pharkryi (talk) 18:32, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
