Talk:God's Own Medicine

Release date

I'm pretty sure this was released in November 1987. The Manchester night of the World Crusade I tour was indicated as the launch-date of the album and it is also mentioned in the official biography. Karst 22:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Mission1.jpg

Image:Mission1.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

That apostrophe

Rather than starting the article with "Gods Own Medicine [sic]", I'm proposing changing it to "God's Own Medicine (sometimes stylised as Gods Own Medicine)..." The only place I've ever seen it written without an apostrophe is on the album cover, and this appears to be a typographical / stylistic thing. Does anyone have strong opinions against me doing this? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 17:50, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Happened to run across this page and was wondering about that intro. Upon some web searches, I found images of a vinyl release of a live performance of this entire album (at Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2008). The album title appears everywhere on that release with an apostrophe AFAICT, so it seems clear the cover art was only a stylistic choice. Based on this, at most a passing mention specific to the cover art is warranted, and perhaps it could be omitted altogether. --Sesameball^Talk 10:22, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation need

I don't know the procedure for creating a disambiguation page, but I was searching for the the history of the term as a nickname for morphine (God's own medicine) that William Osler either coined or used.
