Thanks for updating The Fame (album). It is my understanding that fair use requires the use of low res images (up to 300 px). If you need to update an image it is better to keep the same name and just upload the revision. This will "clobber" (replace) the previous version, with no need to edit the article, etc. Much cleaner. You can ignore the copyvio notices below, the images will auto-delete in a few days. I know absolutely nothing about pop culture, and it is very helpful to have someone such as yourself deal with such articles. Apteva (talk) 16:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

editThe Fame (album) images.
Adding copyright information is not what I had in mind. You are creating a copyright violation, because the images you uploaded are too hi-res to constitute fair use under copyright law. I have asked for assistance on this point, but I believe they need to be deleted or replaced with a low resolution version. Since there already is a low resolution version available, it would make more sense to me to just delete these two that you uploaded. Apteva (talk) 06:35, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
However, can you provide a link on Image:Lady Gaga The fame.jpg to the source? See for example, Image:Album Cover-The Fame.jpg. I notice that you uploaded a 600 px version instead of a 500 px version. The higher res one would be better. (It is ok to make a link to a high res image, but not ok to upload it.)
