Fair use rationale for Image:Prince.eye.gif

Image:Prince.eye.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 ensure 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.

Merging The Revolution discography here

It's a small article (only three albums and just over a dozen songs), so unless anyone objects, I'll merge it here. This isn't a particularly large article either, and short discographies are generally included in a section of the band's article. Markfury3000 (talk) 00:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• It's been over a week, so I've now merged it here. Markfury3000 (talk) 19:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

1999

Is 1999 a Prince album or an album by Prince & The Revolution? The article states it is a Prince album. warpozio (talk) 15:34, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Billboard statistics

The article states that the group had six top-ten singles, the group actually had nine. Seven if you exclude singles from 1999. - Little Red Corvette - Delirious - When Doves Cry - Let's Go Crazy - Purple Rain - I Would Die 4 U - Raspberry Beret - Pop Life - Kiss

I plan to edit this paragraph. Icoll52 (talk) 23:31, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
