Photo

need better photo, please —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwarner88 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the photo taken in Nassau as you can't see anything at all. When you click on the picture you can just about see the back of her head. I thought it was adding nothing to the article, but another editor disagreed and reinstated it. Dancarney (talk) 10:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When you click on it, you can see her face on the video screen in the upper left as well as the back of her on stage. Of course it isn't the best, and it's not put in the infobox, but it does tell you something about her ... roughly what she looks like, where she stands on stage relative to Springsteen, the fact that she sometimes has a featured vocal (especially when Scialfa isn't present). WP is legendary for its awful photos in its biographies of living people, and many articles have no photos at all. This is better than nothing. There won't be a better one until somebody hangs out outside a rehearsal or a hotel and gets one of her, which is likely where the Roy Bittan, Clarence Clemons, and Garry Tallent ones come from for example.

Oh, I now have seen the disembodied head. From the photo it's clear that she is a white woman with blonde hair and that she has stood next to Bruce Springsteen on a stage. This is all described far better in text, surely. I feel that such a meaningless photo detracts from the article and it would be better for there to be no picture. Dancarney (talk) 11:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, if you look at WP article texts, they almost never say "so-and-so is a white woman with blonde hair". That kind of description is usually left to images. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Photo

After seeing how dark the photos were on the page, I've placed a new one in the infobox, and removed one photo that was quite honestly, far too dark for a GA article, in my opinion... if this article someday makes it to that point. Hope I didn't step on any toes. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:24, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, this one is clearly better for infobox purposes. Although it might be better cropped, with the mic on the left and Tallent on the right excluded. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:03, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~On svwiki, it has been claimed, this picture is showing Patti Scialfa, not Soozie Tyrell. Any comment about that statement? Stigfinnare (talk) 18:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)~~ I withdraw my comment. It seems obvious, this is Soozie, not Patti. Stigfinnare (talk) 18:38, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly is. Patti wasn't even at the show that the photo was taken during. In fact she didn't appearing during that entire European leg. At shows were Patti is absent (which is most of them), Sister Soozie takes over her spot on the mic line on the front of the stage, which is probably what confused the Swede.
