For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for covers of audio recording releases.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

• The label image is used to represent a single, "Get Up Offa That Thing", by a well-known musician, James Brown
• This image has been used in several websites, and so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
• The image is being used merely in an informative way and should not detract from the single or song
• The image is of low resolution
• The image does not limit the performer or record company's ability to sell the song or single
• The only purpose of the image is to help describe the single "Get Up Offa That Thing" and no other purpose

If this rationale is not adequate, please tell me specifically what is wrong with it before moving to delete the file and I will try to improve it. Or feel free to fix it yourself. InnocuousPseudonym 20:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
