Use of cover art

edit

A single's cover art should not be used for the B-side song. According to WP:WikiProject Songs#Infobox: "Use {{Infobox Song}} for album tracks and B-sides" (rather than Infobox Single). And from Template:Infobox Song: "You should not use the album cover, as this is not compliant with our fair-use criteria". The reason for this combination of rules is that cover art, under fair use rules, is only to be used in one article. The most appropriate article is the song for the A-side. This is an extention of the rule which states an album cover image is not to be used for song articles of individual songs from an album (i.e. using the same image in a dozen articles) even though each of those songs is "associated" with the album. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 21:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
