Fair use rationale for Image:ExtraTextureCover.jpg

Image:ExtraTextureCover.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 06:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

This quality rating needs a rethink

Seriously, how can this article be rated a C on any project's quality scale? A message from March 2011 calls for verifiable sources needed for the article, yet (aside from refs supporting the reviewer ratings) there are almost none in the article at all. This can't possibly be a C − it's a Start, surely. Can someone please amend this rating (if you agree)? Either that or I'll find out how to do it myself. I've queried the same with the Red Rose Speedway article, because it just seems that medium-level quality ratings can be/are given too arbitrarily in some cases. I'll happily try to help make this George H article a C (and beyond, who knows), but I can't see there's any incentive to improve articles if contribs tack on a rating that's more wishful thinking. (How many other Beatles-related articles does this issue relate to ...?) JG66 (talk) 12:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I'll change it. Again, thanks for spotting this. yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 13:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Good work, Yeepsi! Don't mean to sound so bossy about this issue. It's just that, it's very satisfying to help take an article from a stub or start level up to a C or B, but that ends up meaning nothing when a piece that's obviously below-average has been given a decent (C or B) rating.

I know what you mean. The Assessment department was in state, before I started helping. yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 11:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Why was the tour controversial? Maybe it was just poorly received?
     Done yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
    "last-ever" - overmphasized, just "last"
     Done yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
    "It is considered to be Harrison's soul album, " - Confusing. Reword it.
     Done But I think, I may have made it more confusing(?) yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
    Yes. How about "Featuring elements of soul music and demonstrating... , the album was something..."--GoPTCN 09:10, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
    Sounds good. Added. yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 09:56, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
    "hit single in the song "You"," - in the song? Maybe "it produced the moderate hit single, "You"". Also how can it be both moderate and a hit single?
    Would "it produced the moderately hit single" work? yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
    Better--GoPTCN 09:10, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
     Done yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 09:56, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
    Why does Forum links to a city?
     Done "Forum shows, in Los Angeles". yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
    "(from Horn)" - Horn is a band?
     Done Jim Horn. Session musician. yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
    The article has too many overemphasized language, eg "last-ever", can be just last
     Done Fixed. yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 19:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall: Just a few small issues.--GoPTCN 18:44, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
