Fair use rationale for Image:Stop Look Listen Donna.jpg

edit
 

Image:Stop Look Listen Donna.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 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.

7" single format

edit

I'm changing the wording that suggests a reason for the edit. Time editing of a five-minute song would not have been done in order to fit the format, as a 7" single is easily capable of more than five minutes of music. (In Germany in the 1980s it was not uncommon to release 7" singles with two songs on each side, with a total length per side of more than eight minutes.) The reason 7" singles are edited to be shorter than their album versions is because this is the version released to pop radio, and pop radio wants to play as many songs per hour as possible without lingering too long on any one record, so their audience doesn't tune out. You may notice that remixes on CD singles are often featured in shorter "radio edit" versions that usually run 4 minutes in length or less. Abrazame (talk) 18:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
