Talk:Whatever (Aimee Mann album)

Split Articles?

Shouldn't this be split into two articles? With the development and the meaning of the term "whatever" in one article and the album in another?--69.220.225.1 02:42, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

a disambig, at the least...--Weebot 04:00, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Aimee Mann - Whatever.jpg

Image:Aimee Mann - Whatever.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.

Non-notable cultural references

I deleted most of the cultural references. The material seemed so obvious as to be not-notable. Here is the original section;

The song "4th of July" directly references the American holiday of Independence Day - including references to fireworks, an activity commonly associated with it in the U.S. - and is technically named after it, an alternate name for the holiday being the Fourth of July, derived from the date it takes place on (similar to how the Mexican holiday is referred to as Cinco de Mayo).

"Jacob Marley's Chain" refers to the Dickens character Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol, who was doomed after death to wander the earth suffering for his lifetime sin of greed; the chains he was weighted down by are used as a metaphor throughout the song.

"I Know There's A Word" refers at one point to "making him say uncle"; a direct reference to the practice of "crying uncle", literally that of crying out the word "uncle" as a safeword during rough childhood play.

I'm not sure there even needs to be a cultural references section. The material that I've kept in there could be worked into the introduction paragraph. DiggyG (talk) 03:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Personnel

I made a few additions to the personnel list. It's still not exhaustive, though. (The booklet in my copy is missing a page or two!) Elcalen (talk) 13:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

The word 'pipes' in the list was linked to 'pipe organ', but usually this word refers to bagpipes. Anyone know which is correct? I changed the link to bagpipes for now, but please correct it if I'm mistaken... Elcalen (talk) 14:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
