User:Hotdoglives did three reversals of content that was taken from the booklet of the CD and posted to the article. See the revisions.
"No encyclopedic value" as in "importance" is the argument. By that (importance) standard would any article about the details of any album be of no encyclopedic value, with a few exceptions, if the album is connected directly to something else that has encyclopedic value. Importance is subjective and Wikipedia does not try to be exactly that. Wikipedia does also not have to worry about growing so much content that they can't make a print version out of it that would be bought by anybody.
Those are reasons for the Encyclopedia Britannica or the German Brockhaus to filter out what their editors deem to be irrelevant for the mainstream encyclopedia buyer. The details provided in the cases above may seem of "No encyclopedic value" to you, but it is an interesting detail, which is of value for others, such as fans of the band who would like to know more about the personal side of an artist and not just the music itself. Furthermore get information like this, often lost in time and turn out to be important at a much later time when it is too late. The only reference possible then would be un-encyclopedic, because it would be a reference that is based of "hearsay" or an eyewitness who's reliability might be impossible to establish.
I would not have taken the time to enter by hand all those details into the article, if I would think otherwise and I hope that you might change your view on this after you read my argument. I won't start a "fight" over this, metaphorical speaking, because it is not worth to spent time and energy on it. It would only be sad. It might not be important today, but may be in the distant future. Who knows. I am not so confident to be able to state with absolute certainty that something is not and will never be important. Some other people are, for whatever reason. -- roy<sac> Talk! .oOo. 16:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:VNV Judgement cover.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.
