Working on articles

There. More of the stuff resolves now.

Introduction

I believe the introduction is getting too long now and should be shortened. I may shorten the intro myself when I get around to it. Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the last paragraph of the intro is expendable as it duplicates info in the body of the article. What do you think? I may delete it myself tomorrow. Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think far too much has ben removed. The intro should properly summarize the topic at hand, to where one doesn't necessarily have to read the (on the long side) article to get the general gist of who or what it is about. The old intro also had the misfortune of having a poor tone (While Stax almost exclusively produced African-American music, the label is noted for having several popular ethnically-integrated bands." is a very problematic sentence), At three paragraphs (one of which is rather short), the new intro properly sets up the article, and explain the important points of what Stax was, who was primarily involved with it, and why they are important enough to have an article. --70.119.13.45 (talk) 22:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bad hyperlink

Hi. The hyperlinks for the musical group, The Astors, is wrong. The link leads to The Astor Family - the richies in NYC, who are descendants of John Jacob Astor Sibber91 (talk) 00:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC) sibber91 Sibber91 (talk) 00:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

-'''[[:Image:Hiphugher.jpg]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|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 [[WP:FU|fair use]].

-Please go to [[:Image:Hiphugher.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure 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.
