Fair use rationale for Image:The Gnome.ogg

Image:The Gnome.ogg 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Gnome's gname

"Grimble Gromble"? There's a distinct hard C sound at the beginning of the second name, which has always sounded like the typical midlands pronunciation of "crumble" to me. Web lyrics sites seem to be ambivalent about the subject, with gromble, grumble, cromble and crumble all being quoted. Unless there's a definitive source perhaps at least a footnote is needed saying that there are several possible interpretations of the name. Grutness...wha? 00:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

How about the lyric book in the 1997 Mono Piper CD package where the name is clearly stated as Grimble Gromble? Apart from the fact that it is clearly audible as such. It's just that Barrett slightly rolls the R so that it sounds a bit like Grromble.NH78.147.149.137 (talk) 03:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Meanings and Themes

This sounds like pure speculation on the part of whoever wrote it. I think it should go —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.149.137 (talk) 03:52, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Psych folk

Could this particular song by Pink Floyd be described as psych folk? The Laxative (talk) 16:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't seem like a credible genre, more of a "let's find any 2 genres that nobody has combined yet, and try combining them". The article about the genre doesn't give many examples of songs, it mainly lists a few groups that might fit the genre, so it is not well defined. I would consider the whole genre non-notable. As for "The Gnome", it's more of a (pseudo) children's song than a folk song. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 01:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Tolkien

I added a reference to Tolkien's fiction (hobbits) even though the source is perhaps not so reliable, quoting other sources. Still, Tolkien's world being an important part of the culture, and a probable inspiration for Syd Barrett, I think it should be mentioned here. Of course, better source is welcomed.

Single by Pink Floyd

The song was released as the b-side of Flaming in the EEUU, so "Song by Pink Floyd" is wrong. Amb1997 (talk) 13:42, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
