Image:Chisholmdog.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 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.

The excellent Mr. Chisolm was previously unknown to me and I am afraid I can't offer much by way of guidance on his Scottish years. In any case they seem to me to be covered in some detail. My sole source of information on this subject is Keay, J. & Keay, J. (1994) Collins Encyclopaedia of Scotland. London. HarperCollins. The information provided is quite short but contains these facts and opinions:
Here are a few stylistic suggestions. It is a fine piece of work, but for it to be a credible WP:GAC the following need attention.
There are far too few in-line citations for a GA. Ideally almost anything that could be challenged should be have a reference. The existing citations should all quote a title and publisher and publication date if available. In the case of a web reference, all should have a retrieval date. See here for some examples.
I am not very familiar with articles about music, but in general lists should be avoided. I would suggest moving the existing 'discography' to a separate list, and retaining a para or two stating what the most important or interesting works are in prose style with a suitable link to the list (perhaps using a {main} or a
tag).
WP:MOS would like you to re-name the References section as 'Notes', and the Sources section as 'References'. The same stylistic issues apply to your existing 'Sources' as suggested for the citations above.
When you have done everything else to your satisfaction, fix the opening para per WP:LEAD. Essentially, there should be a mention of a key fact from each major section and anything in the lead should be enlarged on later.
A few small points:
'Erik' is an unusual spelling. Did he have Scandinavian antecedents perhaps? Ben MacDui Talk/ Walk 12:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The article states that "he had not graduated primary school" but nobody "graduates" primary school in Scotland. If as mentioned above in the article he left at 13 is "did not complete secondary school" intended? Mutt Lunker ( talk) 11:50, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
