File talk:Avril Lavigne in Burnaby, 2004.jpg

 

Rationale for change of description

Hello, I just wanted to drop a note here, explaining why I needed to change the description of this photo, included in the English BLP on Lavigne, among other places. Two things in particular stood out to me:

1. Lavigne is depicted here holding an acoustic guitar, seated alone on a blank stage.
2. The date of the photo is given as "6 April 2004 15:50".

• Now, to place Lavigne in Vancouver on her Bonez tour would be 24 November 2004. The date on the photo is too early for that. However, according to the "Live By Surprise" itinerary, 6 April is the exact date of her appearance in Burnaby (which is near Vancouver) and neatly explains the stage setup. I was present for one of her "Live By Surprise" concerts and I can indepdently confirm that this intimate, acoustic configuration was the norm.
• Therefore, given the preponderance of the evidence, I am forced to conclude that the uploader mislabeled this photo and it must be changed. I am working to modify the caption as listed at her English Wikipedia article. Thanks for your interest! 2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 20:22, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
