Fair use rationale for Image:Meatloaf04.jpg

Image:Meatloaf04.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.

Modern Girl

I've removed the outrageous claim that "Modern Girl" reached No.1 in the UK. It didn't.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 02:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Surf's Up

No mention here of the video for "Surf's Up." Side note: it also recorded by Jim Steinman for the "Bad For Good" album. Meatloaf's video for this song, which I have, may imply that it was released as a single? Yet no mention of it in his "singles' discography." Anyone with more information?

reversions

JeffSpaceman wrote in his latest reversion message "when someone reverts your edit, do not revert back to your preferred revision -- discuss instead" — which is a fair point. On the other hand, I gave concrete reasons for my changes (one of the previous wordings was ambiguously misleading, and the other was factually inaccurate), and he gave the vague reason of "better" for his. So I'm starting a discussion to see if others agree with him that more ambiguous and less accurate phrasings are better. I'm open to Jeff or anyone improving my wording — there's certainly nothing profound about it — but it seems to me that the wording should not be misleading or inaccurate. 2605:A601:A0A4:2700:E876:47D0:6E75:269F (talk) 12:15, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

In over a week, no one — including Jeff himself, who invited this discussion — has been able to defend the reversions that Jeff is proposing. To recap my reasons for my edits:

• The phrase "different track listing" commonly means there are different tracks. That is not the case here; only the order is different, and my edit clarifies this.
• An artist or label can be said to release singles. An album cannot release singles. My edit fixes the verb so that the sentence stops crediting an album with an action that an album cannot perform.

Two other minor wording changes I made, and the reasons for those, are:

• "the same...as" is idiomatic English; "the same...from" is not.
• "said list above" is redundant; only one of "said" and "above" is necessary to identify which list is being referred to.

I reiterate that there is nothing special about my wording, and anyone can improve it. But the article is better without the ambiguity, without the inaccuracy, without the redundancy, and with idiomatic English, despite Jeff's claim that his wording is "better" without any reasons for this claim. Thus I have reinstated the edits. Jeff, please feel free to improve my wording without making the article more ambiguous, less accurate, less idiomatic, or more redundant. 2605:A601:A0A4:2700:50AF:56B6:F396:317F (talk) 22:11, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
