Fair use rationale for Image:XTC bigexpress84.jpeg[edit]

Image:XTC bigexpress84.jpeg 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.

Lode Star/North Star?[edit]

An inconsistency found in Song Stories p. 164

Andy: And Under the Rusting North Star, after the old locomotive in the museum, which is where we shot the photos. Tim Bryan, the owner, was running around panicking that we were going to break his trains.

Bernhardt says it's the Lode Star train and that the album was photographed at Swindon Works...--Ilovetopaint (talk) 07:40, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cover art for the album shows the band on both No 4003 'Lode Star' and Dean Goods No 2516. Swindon's GWR museum has a full size replica of 'North Star' on display, but it isn't shown on the album. WaltTFB (talk) 07:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, I've removed the "dubious" tag from the Lode Star image. Comparing the Lode Star's footplate (https://www.flickr.com/photos/70607220@N04/9474976408/) with the inner sleeve (https://www.discogs.com/XTC-The-Big-Express/release/10803937) it is definitely the same footplate. As originally stated. Nothing dubious about that. Yintan 19:10, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
