Photos, images

[edit]

Please do not add photos to the Wikipedia directly without pointing back to the photostream from which it came, unless it's a rare occurrence and the editor/photographer has a significant number of edits and exposure to WP:MOS and WP:V. Aside from the black and white photo I placed in the infobox, someone had placed three photos just after the discography section. I was sufficiently concerned about the lack of real validity of proof that the actual photographer was the same person to upload photos in "gallery style" (which is also against WP practice). I found two of them online elsewhere, with one being the Facebook icon for Laing himself, and looking just like one of his record albums without the words over the image. Anyway, I deleted the two offending photos, and incorporated the last of those three into the text since it was uploaded to Commons (which is where all free images get uploaded and scrutinized) figuring the other folks there could determine if the photo was the equivalent to "Flickr washing", and thus copyright-questionable. ALSO: There was no reference at all, and the External links section had 2 out of 4 dead links. I added one reference. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 04:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DITTO regarding most of the comments above and need for references and text, esp. Can't believe I wrote this in 2011 and little but some fan-style writing from a Mountain fan is here in 2016! FIVE YEARS?! REALLY?!! Wow. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 09:16, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trans-Love Airways

[edit]

Corky was playing with the band Trans-Love Airways in Toronto in the mid 90s. Were there any recording of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farfisa2000 (talkcontribs) 00:25, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
