Sleeves and label edit

@JGabbard: I appreciate the "consensus" (or portion of it?) favoring artworks used for singles. However, preferably, successful releases of many older songs produced in their own source countries, like the US or the UK, lacked picture sleeves, and not using the labels would make readers think the labels are non-important just because they aren't artworks, which newer singles of this century have been using. Well, I looked up old discussions, and I found one of them, which I started.

I don't know why a talk page is appropriate for non-free images, especially when two editors disagree on which images to use and are unable to compromise and bots would eventually add "orphaned" tags on certain images. I think about reinserting the label and then taking all three to FFD for bigger attention, citing NFCC#3a and #8. Also, I created cropped versions of free images of Barry White. Alternatively, if you think FFD is not the way to go, then I would prefer replacing the German cover with the US side label and leave the Dutch one remaining. Thoughts?

BTW, I hate to admit that using front covers is very tempting and impulsive (mainly because of great artwork), but I prefer to use artworks for singles from 1990s and thereafter. I still don't know why some editors don't bother to insert (or correct) captions describing accurately what the images are part of.

(Back then, before switching my preferences to side labels, I didn't even consider which editions use the picture or generic sleeves, where the songs were originally produced, what nationalities and birth places of artists were, and what songs were primarily targeted to. I just used artworks primarily to differentiate from pre-existing covers that were already used, i.e. using artworks as "alternative covers".)

@George Ho: Thank you for your reply, George. I like side labels too, and occasionally upload them myself when no picture sleeve art is available. They do have some value, aesthetic and otherwise. And I will make extra effort to include captions on picture sleeves, because that can also be helpful information. That being said, I am not fond of your proposal. The German sleeve has clearer lettering as well as a nice photo of the artist. But I did not upload either image, so I strongly feel that input from other editors is needed. - JGabbard (talk) 04:07, 14 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
