[edit]

Did Void really record for Matador? They are on the list here, but they were primarily a Dischord band, and Matador never released any stuff by hardcore punk bands to my knowledge. Chris77xyz 20:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matador is still listed on the RIAA's site as of 01/10/06.

Matador is also Lloyd "Matador" Daleys reggae recording label.

Merge with list of artists

[edit]

Merged, as no opposition in three weeks of listing. Ollie 18:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No more mention of Pavement?

[edit]

The question "No more mention of Pavement?" appeared in the article. It doesnt belong there, so i've put it here instead. I don't really know what it's refering to, so i can't help, but perhaps someone else can!

Fair use rationale for Image:Matador.gif

[edit]

Image:Matador.gif 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 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.

Roster

[edit]

I suggest changing this section name to Acts, and the "Current (active) Bands" to simply "Current", and the "Alumni (Former Bands)" to simply "Former". Even if people disagree to those overall changes, I'd still suggest removing (active) from "Current (active) Bands" as it is redundant, and changing "Alumni (Former Bands)" to Former Bands as a record label doesn't have Alumni per the definition given in Alumnus.IrishStephen (talk) 23:55, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

[edit]

Since many other pages regarding record labels (even indie ones) have a close-to-complete discography, I believe it should be a priority on this page. Any help converting the "notable artists" section to "discography" in table format would be kindly appreciated. Finalius (gibberings) 18:48, 22 April 2013 (UTC) [reply]

On second thought, I would like to know why there is a link to the discography, but it is not listed here. Is this relevant? Finalius (gibberings) 18:50, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Status

[edit]

Matador is distributed by ADA in the United States. ADA is owned by Warner. Does that affect its status as being independent? AmericanLeMans (talk) 22:35, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Censorship controversy"

[edit]

Twice now I have tried to remove an improperly sourced section that claims "Matador has come under fire for censoring albums", and HotRodHundley (talk · contribs) has twice reverted me (incorrectly claiming I'm vandalizing and incorrectly trying to "warn" me by copying text from their own talk page warnings to my user page, but whatever). Plain an simple, just becuase an artist claimed something happened on a Reddit AMA doesn't make it a either true nor a "controversy". We need independent reliable sources making this assertion, not a self-published comment by an aggreived party. This section should be removed unless properly sourced, but I don't want to trigger 3RR. --ZimZalaBim talk 13:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree. I couldn't find any reliable sources reporting on the matter so I've removed the section from the article. GentleHillRacer (talk) 02:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
