Fair use rationale for Image:The fox.JPG

[edit]

Image:The fox.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.

"Elton's Song" banned from radio play?

[edit]

The article claims that "Elton's Song" was banned from radio play in some countries. Which countries? The song wasn't even released as a single anywhere anyway. (The lyrics aren't explicit enough as to the theme of a same-sex relationship that the song shouldn't have been able to pass the censors. Keep in mind that four years later, Elton managed to make people believe that "Nikita" was about a woman.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering about this too. Indeed, although it does sound likely that Tom Robinson and Elton John intended the song to be about two boys, nothing in the lyrics indicates or even implies the sex of either the narrator or the person "he" is singing about. Unfortunately, the cited source is a physical book, so without a copy I can't check whether there are additional details or a corroborating source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.160.123 (talk) 17:15, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The source does not back the claim. The closest it gets is a quote from Tom Robinson: "...when he made the video for 'Elton's Song', which was about a schoolboy crush at a public school, it had a younger boy being desperately in love with an older prefect, and it didn't pull any punches. I think the video itself got banned in America, but I don't think Elton was all that closeted."
That's the only mention of the song in the source. That a songwriter otherwise unassociated with the song thinks the video might have been banned is not worth mentioning, IMO, and certainly doesn't support the claim that the song "was banned from radio play in some countries due to its content". - SummerPhDv2.0 22:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
