Grammy nomination for Weather Report in 1978

According to http://lostmind.100megsfree2.com/year/1978/1978gram.htm there was no Grammy nomination for Weather Report in 1978. "Heavy Weather" wasn't nominated in 1977 or 1979 either (although Weather Report was). I don't think it's really relevant though, so I removed it. djmutex 17:41 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

According to https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/weather-report Weather Report as group was never nominated.Thomas279 (talk) 16:57, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Band member chronology

I integrated all of these dates into the new infobox, so removed the following chart from the main page. --taestell 21:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Members and former members

Is everyone happy with the distinction members and former members in the page's infobox? Since WR no longer exist as a formation, it could be argued that they're all former members. It might be more correct, if the title former members were changed to last members, but I think we should either make no distinction or else separate permanent members (Zawinul and perhaps Shorter) from temporary members (the rest). Personally, I'd prefer no distinction and certainly dont like the wording of the titles I suggested (permanent vs temporary). ---Sluzzelin 15:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:830.jpg

I found Image:830.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:830.jpg

Image:830.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.

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.

Montreux personnel

So, if I understand the article correctly, the line-up for the 1976 Montreux film is Pastorius, Acuña (drums) and Badrena (percussion)? Rothorpe (talk) 19:33, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Star Box album

Why in this page there isn't the Star Box album?? El zausa (talk) 17:21, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

It's listed on the separate Weather Report discography page, which contains the info on compilations. As Star Box is an ordinary compilation without rare material, it didn't make the main page discography (I think that this is standard Wiki practise).

Live in Offenbach 1978 (DVD, CD)

Would someone please add the ‘Live in Offenbach 1978’ CD to the chronology and discography?
