Fair use rationale for Image:Simple Minds-New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) (album cover).jpg

Image:Simple Minds-New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) (album cover).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 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 11:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should New Gold Dream be considered the fifth or sixth studio album?

The Wikipedia article currently states that New Gold Dream is the fifth [studio] album. This is presumably because "Sons and Fascination" and "Sister Feelings Call" are being counted as a single album, and there is certainly a single Wikipedia entry for those releases. However that entry correctly states that those two albums were variously released as a double album, two standalone single albums, or other formats. I have personally taken the view that they were two separate albums, albeit recorded at the same time and released on the same day. This bears comparison with Radiohesd's "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" albums which were recorded at the same time but have always been thought of as two separate albums. I think New Gold Dream should either be classified as the "sixth" studio album, or possibly the "fifth or sixth" with an explanation.

Missing multitracks

They have been found and were used for new mixes of the album. Someone else can find a way to put this into the article. https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/simple-minds-new-gold-dream-sparkle-in-the-rain-issued-on-sde-exclusive-blu-ray/ Jules TH 16 (talk) 21:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
