Serial Joe still ROCKS! I Love you Marlon!

Don't mess with the Serial Joe site. Serial Joe did not win a Grammy. SKIDROW does rock though.

Fair use rationale for Image:Facedown.jpg

Image:Facedown.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 08:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When on EARTH did Serial Joe break up?!?!

Or did they even break up?! While trying to Wikify and clean this article up, I've become very pissed off, both at this article's writer(s), and the band.

There is not sufficient information on the Internet (the only source for me, an Southern American kid, to use about this Ontario band) to prove for certain if they have truly broken up or not, or when it occurred, if it did.

Theories

Not Still Together

The most major clue here is that on the band's MySpace, they say they are broken up.

The first clue to this theory is that their website at Aquarius Records is no longer up.

2001

Amazon lists the release date of their final album as 2001.

Also Much Music lists it as 2001, but has a seemingly recent picture of the band.

2002

The Aquarius Records website doesn't list them as broken up. It says that "Last Chance (At the Romance Dance)" was released by them in 2002. This being the last thing mentioned on the Records website, perhaps this was when they were dropped from their label?

2004

The original document the person plagiarized from to write this article as it was before my revisions states "they broke up after 7 years together," which indicates they broke up in 2004.

2005

It could be that they broke up 7 years after they went public, and they first went public in 1998. 1998 + 7 = 2005.

2007

Star Pulse gives information for a CD of theirs entitled KICKeD, and says it was released on January 1, 2007.

But in the last version of the Wikipedia article, KICKeD is listed in their discography as the first release. This fan site also says KICKeD was their first release, independently released.

Another source, Fretplay guitar tablature discography, says that KICKeD was released on January 8, 2007.

Still together

Their biography at Much Music makes it seem as though they are still alive and kicking, utilizing not only the phrase "There are plans in the works for a tour of Canada this fall," with a copyright 2007 being the only visible date for the article, but also a seemingly recent picture (the 'boys' not being so young-looking).

It seems apparent to me that this CD was NOT in fact released in 2007, seeing as the band's MySpace states they are.

Conclusion

They are broken up. But I still don't know when. I may end up asking the lead singer personally. 'Cause I'm annoyed. Chuffable 22:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
