TheSandDoctor, no problem. You can reuse that credit for a later nomination that requires a QPQ. epicgenius (talk) 19:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the page has no biographical information (birth date, birth place, education, etc.) aside from the names of his children. Yoninah (talk) 17:43, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: That is because there is a lack of published sources that discuss those details of his life. I don't believe there is a requirement for birth date and place for DKY, so confused as to the cause of the hold up here. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 18:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Coffee: well, the bio information was right there in one of your sources, so I added it. The page is very rough—almost seems like you're trying to prove a point or something—but it is start-class now and hopefully readers will help improve it. Restoring tick.

"Disputed authorship" or "Disputed ownership?" / Feud with Jagger

Did John Pasche or Andy Warhol ever claim to be the designer/"author" of the logo? It appears that Mazur created the logo as a "work for hire" and later regretted his decision. Who knew it was going to become so popular. A similar situation occurred when Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber recorded the orginal "Jesus Christ Superstar" album. One member of the cast gambled and worked for a percentage of whatever the album might make -- and did quite well when the album became a hit. Everyone else took the guaranteed payout of doing the project as a "work for hire," got paid for the session, and that was it. 2603:800C:3944:BC00:84F3:7215:364:3126 (talk) 21:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
