This must be a mystification at liast in part. Tony Rotten must be Tony Blackplait. Al Vainola and Roy Strider are his friends who participate in Vennaskond. Andres 10:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No mystery. Al Vainola & Roy Stider have no connection with the Ex Pistols. Page now corrected to reveal Buzzcocks bassist Tony Barber as the real 'Tony Rotten'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sexless pistols (talk • contribs) 19:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Ex-Pistols.jpg

Image:Ex-Pistols.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 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.

Neutrality

The article seems like it was primarily written by someone with a very negative view of the band. For example, the article said "The "band" re-appeared in 1988 with an album released in Japan". I removed the scare quotes around the word "band", so that specific example has now been fixed, but the article needs significant re-writing to have a neutral and non-opinionated tone. It would also help to have a bit more of the backstory of how the band was formed and specifically why they used the name "ex-pistols", as well as praise that their music has received in addition to solely criticism of their music.
