Fair use rationale for Image:Shoplifterssmiths.gif edit
Image:Shoplifterssmiths.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Meaning? edit
Surely the meaning was just um.. 'shirt lifters' of the world?
Isn't this song about gay rights in the 1980's? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.62.178 (talk) 22:16, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- Yes I believe that as well. I'm from the U.S. so about 10 to 15 years after this was released I was astonished to discover that almost every line is actually symbolic of something specific. The article needs a re-write, but I'm not the man to do it due to my geographical(and thus cultural) differences/naïveté (i.e., don't know anything about "Channel Four").
- (P.S. Hey since we're talking about this song, IMO it doesn't sound like the songs the article says it sounds like. The drums have more in common with Slayer's "Criminally Insane" than those tracks - listen to the first :30 of the Slayer track and you'll get it. I'm open to enlightenment, can someone point out the similarities to me?) Hanz ofbyotch (talk) 18:16, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
