Survey - in support of the move

1. Support as nominee, and as per previous discussions at Talk:The 11 O'Clock Show, Talk:WP:MOSTM and Talk:WP:MOSCAPS. --DeLarge 21:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
2. Support. Forget whether or not this is common usage - "o'Clock" is patently incorrect. Chris cheese whine 22:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
3. Support. Per above, plus: While an argument may be made that prepositions in titles are lowercase, the "o" in "o'clock", while representing a preposition in a contraction, is in fact no longer a preposition, but part of an adverb. While it may be contracted from "of the clock", I daresay it is no more separable into its former components than "fortnight" to "fourteen night". --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 14:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
4. Support per SigPig. "Of the clock" essentially becomes a single word, due to the contraction (which a quick glance into my good old Oxford dictionary confirms) so it should be either "O'Clock" or "O'clock" in titles. - Cyrus XIII 11:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dukes 25oclock.jpg

Image:Dukes 25oclock.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 Wikipedia articles 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 03:27, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Release category

In the United Kingdom, the Official Chart Company defines an album/LP as being over 25 minutes long OR containing more than than four different songs.Official UK Charts Album Rules 25 O'Clock contains 6 songs and is 26 minutes 43 seconds long - so in the country of release it would have been listed for chart purposes as an LP/album.

The album is best referred to as a Mini-LP, being a 12-inch or 10-inch vinyl with a playing time of between twenty and thirty minutes, and around seven tracks.

The references referring to 25 O'Clock as an EP are probably caused by a different usage of the term outside the United Kingdom. memphisto 11:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Link is un-reliable there are several other Music sites from The UK that List it as an EP and it was known as a EP on wikipedia for over 5 years until you changed it. Also all that ref stated was album and singles sales.--Greaymarshess (talk) 18:00, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

In what way is the link unreliable, it is the criteria for how albums have always been classified in the United Kingdom. I see in one of your edits you use the Alice in Chains release Jar of Flies as an example of an EP, but as I explained above this has no relevance to United Kingdom releases. memphisto 00:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
