File talk:Time out album cover.jpg

I have replaced the previous, untemplated fair-use statement for the above image with the templated version given at WP:NFURG. However, the image includes no source information; e.g., "digital picture of CD taken by User:X" or copy of http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/c2/a0/e84feb6709a01b614d091110.L.jpg resized by User:Y". (I am not claiming either of these as sources, nor am I suggesting that copying an Amazon image is legally acceptable. The point is that the actual source must be cited.) Without a specific source, the image may still be deleted. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've just removed "allmusic.com" as the "source" for this image, because it is neither specific nor accurate. First, just listing a website is not a specific source for an image. If it's coming from the web, it should have a specific URL, and its incorporating webpage should also be given. Second, the source image can't be the logically assumed AMG primary graphic for its article on the album Time Out because that image is 200x194, whereas ours is 301x300 (i.e., different size and width/height ratio). Either someone processed the image (which should be made clear), or it is not the true source of the image and the claim is just speculation.


 * Here's an example of what I believe would be an adequate source (if true), based on what I found at AMG and a bit of speculation:


 * http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf500/f555/f55590zg6bm.jpg, from All Music Guide article on album Time Out, cropped by uploader using Photoshop


 * It's concise and precise, provides readers with the information they need to verify what they can, and (not incidentally) reduces the suspicion that someone just slapped a convenient and plausible but vague "source" on one of the thousands of inadequately sourced images just because it was flagged for potential deletion. &#9786; ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
