Fair use rationale for Image:415+WHBv8aL AA240 .jpg

Image:415+WHBv8aL AA240 .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.

The album HAS NOT sold 5 million coppies, it has sold 8 millions. it is stated in the official biography in her official site www.shakira.com. please dont change it to five millions. Emijomo89 22:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you PLEASE explain us where it has sold 8 million then??? It has sold 1'5 million aprox. in the US (Platinum) and the same in Europe (Platinum as well by the IFFPI). It's Gold in Australia (50,000) and 2xPlat in Canada (200,000). Total of those: 3,250,000. You're telling us she has sold 4,750,000 in the rest of the world??? LOL. Artists should concentrate on those markets then! There's where real money is and they still don't know it!!!! You know NOTHING about music and charts. This albums will be lucky to have shipped 5million. Rub rb (talk) 02:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

you are forgetting Latin america, where she is from. besides, if it says so on her official website (it does in her biography) then why not trust it???? please see this, before editing http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c374/emijomo8999/shakishaki.jpg Emijomo89 —Preceding undated comment was added at 17:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know who is the person that keeps editing the sales of the album to make it seem like it sold 15 millions world wide. NO ALBUM now a days sells that much, so please stop kidding yourself. the album sold 8 millions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.88.236.60 (talk) 21:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mis-placed paragraph

Pop music not an area of my expertise, but the first paragraph from the "Background" section appears to be from some kind of review and should therefore be under "Critical reception". Tigerboy1966 09:29, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Oral Fixation, Vol. 2

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Oral Fixation, Vol. 2's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:52, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
