Fair use rationale for Image:Cream2005.jpg

Image:Cream2005.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 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.

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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Cream1993.jpg

The image Image:Cream1993.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

I'm surprised to read an article about Ginger Baker that doesn't mention his teacher and mentor the great Phil Seamen. Thermosoverfil (talk) 19:56, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Did Ginger get his money back?

The fraud case was filed in 2008. Does anyone know if the case went to trial? Did Ginger prevail? (71.22.47.232 (talk) 09:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC))

Navbox for Ginger Baker

Can a navbox be created for Ginger Baker based on Ginger Baker's three albums and Ginger Baker's Air Force's two albums? --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:33, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Ginger?

how about a word or two on why he uses a female nickname? gotta be something interesting there! 209.172.25.81 (talk) 01:53, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Ya think maybe cause 'ginger' is used as a nickname for people with red hair? That be my guess. 184.77.158.71 (talk) 23:00, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Deleting (possibly unintentional) vandalism

Somebody either knowingly or cluelessly added "facts" about Ginger Baker assaulting two burglars (taken from a satirical website). 160.111.254.17 (talk) 14:05, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Selection of photo used above the bio summary

Who selects the photo that sits above the summary information (top right of page) and why did they chose such a poor image when there are thousands of images available (with and without drum kit) that portray Ginger Baker's character /persona far better than the one selected? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.223.170 (talk) 00:42, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

A pioneer in jazz fusion drumming

Ginger Baker is not a pioneer in jazz fusion drumming. You need many more sources, and much more consensus, to make a large claim like that. He is mostly known as a rock drummer. I've never seen him called a pioneer in jazz fusion. Please remove the POV cheerleading and let's keep the articles impartial and down to earth without any grandiose claims.
Vmavanti (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Reading his autobiography it's very obvious that his early influences were jazz-based, especially Big band, such as Jack Parnell and Ted Heath. In his obituary in The Guardian today Adam Sweeting says this : "He brought Winwood and Grech into a new jazz-rock fusion project, Ginger Baker’s Air Force" and "Baker.. continued to collaborate with Laswell, with Middle Passage (1990), a mix of Afrobeat, rock and jazz-fusion." So some of his later work is certainly focused on jazz fusion. But to say he was a pioneer is indeed rather very strong claim. Billboard says, for example, "In 1972, Baker released two solo albums, Ginger Baker at His Best and Stratavarious, in which he dabbled in jazz fusion and Afrobeat." Martinevans123 (talk) 20:28, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, and always got the impression he was peeved at ending up in a rock band. He didn't, for eg, hold any other rock drummers in high regard, compared to contemporary jazz players. Ceoil (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Kit

I do hope that the "esoteric" Instruments and sound section, detailing his drum kits and equipment, recently removed as uncited, might be restored at some stage, perhaps after he's appeared in ITN/RD on the Main Page. Here's a possible online source, which looks like it might have been the source originally used, e.g. "From 1966 to 1968, Ginger played a Ludwig Silver Sparkle:". Martinevans123 (talk) 20:18, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, that's the plan. Ceoil (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
