Petra

The Washed Whiter Than album make that phrase a lie. It did not keep them "squarely within the broad "rock" genre" at all. It was called a Disco album. It was called M.O.R. (middle of the road). It was called a lot of things, bit not rock. I'll have to pull up the comments on it from the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music when I get home, but it's not fair to say squarely. They're unsubstantiated weasel words. That's why I removed them. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:55, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I would call it soft rock, but as I said, Petra over the course of 33 years and two dozen albums had one record that some considered too light. I'd say that's squarely within the confines of the very broad set of genres implied by the word "rock." At any rate, I think your most recent edit splits the difference well, and I'm happy to leave it there. Paa00a (talk) 20:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Hyphens vs dashes: I'm glad you asked. Yes, dashes are required for ranges (years, pages, Chicago–Toronto flight, etc.) and for adversarial or oppositional linking (blood–brain barrier). On a Mac, it's option-hyphen. On a full Windows keyboard, it's bottom-left (Cntrl) and top-right (minus sign). There's an insert button under each edit box on WP, too. WP:MOSDASH

Linking—you may wish to read WP:OVERLINK. Generally, we're working away from scattergun linking to a more selective approach, which highlights the valuable links. You're welcome to ask for more information. Thanks. Tony (talk) 04:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:01 God Gave Rock And Roll To You.ogg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:01 God Gave Rock And Roll To You.ogg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 06:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I've added the rationale. Paa00a (talk) 14:31, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:SchlittFarewellTaping.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:SchlittFarewellTaping.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Recent changes to Petra

BtS was 1985. See the article's talk page for that information. I reverted that one. As for your claims that the changes made by Kitsunegami were "grammatically incorrect" would have more weight if you pointed to MOS:LQ. There are additional issues at WP:PUNCT. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:God Gave Rock And Roll To You (Petra song - sample).ogg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:God Gave Rock And Roll To You (Petra song - sample).ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:19, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
