Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 25, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Uncle Tupelo's 1990 album No Depression is so associated with alternative country that its title is sometimes used as a synonym for the genre?
Current status: Featured article

Requested move[edit]

No Depression (album)No Depression – Origin of the name, no need for two-item dab page. trialsanderrors 06:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We should reverse the move and let No Depression be the disambig. There are more than two items really. In the video series American Roots, Gillian Welch describes "No Depression music" or "Alternative country" as an American music whose name can be traced back to the Carter Family. Also, in a bonus disc available with some copies of The Devil You Know, Todd Snider has a conversation with Nanci Griffith where he says (something like), "What do you call what we do--No Depression music?". -MrFizyx 19:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Covered with No depression (disambiguation). I changed the headers. I never actually heard of the term "No Depression music", but if you want you can create a redirect to alternative country and add a dab header. ~ trialsanderrors 19:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose they just call it "No Depression", there is also some history with an AOL discussion board. The magazine was named for the AOL board, which was named for the UT album which was named after the Carter Family song... You can read about it a few places.[1][2] I would have left the main namespace as the disambig, and the album where it was, but I suppose what you've done works for now. -MrFizyx 20:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I just added the lineage to the No Depression (periodical) article. I'll add your source too. ~ trialsanderrors 20:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This move still bothers me. I'd like to see it reversed. "No Depression" really should be the disambiguation page. (1) The album didn't come first, the song did. (2) In many ways I think the magazine over time became better known for the album. -MrFizyx (talk) 05:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've started doing the legwork on this. It will take some time to get accurate results from "what links here" since many pages were linked via the Uncle Tupelo template. Many pages that link to "No Depression" are actually intended to indicate the magazine not the UT album. -MrFizyx (talk) 06:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:UTND.jpg[edit]

Image:UTND.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.
