Fair use rationale for Image:At the Pershing-But Not for Me.jpg

Image:At the Pershing-But Not for Me.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.

Confusion between LP and CD reissues

This album article ( and likely many other Wikipedia album listings ) has an inherent problem. The album was released on an LP in 1958 on Argo records, but the article says “Released 1995” and “Label: Affinity”.

Most likely the article information refers to a CD reissue of the LP, but it never makes this clear. In this case it’s not hard to figure out, but in a lot of other album articles, it could be extremely misleading.

I think Wikipedia needs to reconsider its template for listing things like this. I suggest having both “LP Released” and “CD Reissue” information fields, with a date field and label for each, since they’re often not the same.
