Fair use rationale for Image:Bigapplerappin.jpg

Image:Bigapplerappin.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 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.

"Big Apple Rappin" lead has lost the apostrophe on Rappin'

Fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"The album is " could probably link album as so far you haven't said what it is!

I've changed the earlier statement to say "compilation album". Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Johan Kugelberg. Kugelberg had" repetitive.

Fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"was predominantly The music is primarily hip hop with a disco backing track first became a hit and describe the compilation as a collection of "the first great records."" just too weird for me to parse.

Wow what word soup I wrote. I think i've made it alright now. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Changed. 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

"Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections" is this notable enough for a redlink?

I'm not sure. I'll leave it blank for now as i'd have to do some research on that. It's a little out of my area of knowledge. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"based person who" person is a really odd way of saying it.

I've re-phrased it slightly based on the description of him here. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"genre as staggeringly difficult" POV for an encyclopedia.

I've re-phrased this as this is Kugelberg's own words, which i think is not against POV. It should have been in quotes. Thoughts? Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"the "Born in the Bronx" book" italics for book titles.

Changed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"and R&B backed-tracks" R&B-backed tracks.

Updated. I've also changed R&B to link to Rhythm & Blues to avoid a re-direct. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"the Village Voice" the should be inside the link.

changed The Village Voice link. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've changed what you wanted here. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of what formats the release was made on?

I've added some information on that to the release section. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Any indication of chart/sales perfomances?

Nothing I could find. As a Various artists album or the label. Can't find anything on Officialcharts or Billboard relating to it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Caz image should use the upright parameter.

That's a little new to me but I believe i've added it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

i've added the en-dash (–) to it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
