This is an article about the English funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai. They are well known for their music video of "Virtual Insanity" and the song "Canned Heat", the latter which appeared in Napoleon Dynamite. My previous attempts to nominate the article in 2019 failed and understandably so, as it had cluttered writing and excessive detail, but has now improved in comparison. I've worked on this since 2018, which has been challenging but rewarding, as I've learned alot from it. This article is in hopes that it will represent the band's artistry and success above all the tabloids and sensationalism that overshadowed them. Thank you and I hope this passes. I want to give a special thanks to Ceoil for helping out. With his guidance, this article will age like fine wine. 옷OO 17:24, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Pinging Ceoil and MaranoFan because I should have done so earlier. 웃OO 03:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
Image review
[edit]- What are the copyright statuses of the headdresses? Nikkimaria (talk) 21:26, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- CC-BY-SA 2.0, CC-BY-SA 2.0, CC-BY 2.0. Or were you referring to the headdresses themselves? 옷OO 22:29, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- The headdresses themselves. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:33, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- I never knew that there would be guidelines for clothing. If need be, the images could be removed from the article. Though they have been photographed by photographers releasing their work under CC. Overall, I'm unsure of the licensing regarding this. 옷OO 00:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- As per commons:COSTUME, costumes can receive copyright protection when distinct from clothing. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- I guess what I can come up with as an argument is that he isn't portraying as anyone else but himself. (though there could be some issue with the native american headdress) some of his hats are designed by himself, otherwise the other designers, such as one who created the Automaton LED hat, would create them for the brand of Jamiroquai. The photos taken are also freely licensed as well. I also want to add that they are all concert photography which is generally acceptable. 옷OO 01:12, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- That's fine, but the photographers can only release the rights to their photographs, not to the designs which are not theirs. Is there any indication these designs have been freely licensed? Nikkimaria (talk) 01:27, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- I keep eyeing this quote: "If the costume is not the central focus of the image but only an incidental feature, or one among many costumes, it is likely to be considered de minimis." it's probably the best representative for the situation is it portrays him performing in a concert. But also the issue may just be the three images in the artistry section that give them closer looks to illustrate the hats apart from the other photos where the Kay the singer is singing zoomed out in the photo. Other than that, determining the license of headgear and such is beyond my knowledge. 옷OO 01:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

- In the infobox, please provide a better caption for the image identifying the band members by name according to their position in the infobox. Consider cropping out the guy on the left if he's not important, as it would make the rest of the image much easier to see at the infobox size. (t · c) buidhe 08:08, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Firstly, thank you for removing the headdress pics. I feel like the infobox pic before at [2] gives a slightly better view of the band. Though the purpose I had with the images of the band was too illustrate the band's lineup from the left side of the stage to the right. 옷OO 15:11, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
Coordinator comment
[edit]- Not much sign of a consensus to promote building for this article. So this is a heads up that if it hits the three week mark without a fair bit of further activity, then I am afraid that it is liable to be archived. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:55, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
