Fair use rationale for Image:Branded Man Haggard.jpg
Image:Branded Man Haggard.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.

First #1 pop and country album: Ode to Billie Joe: Bobbie Gentry
1967 marks the first time ever an album goes #1 on the Billboard top 200 and the Billboard top country album chart. Bobbie Gentry's massive debut album, Ode to Billie Joe, would knock The Beatles St. Pepper from the top slot for two weeks selling 500,000 copies in less than one month. It would end up selling 1 million copies in the U.S and another 500,000 copies internationally. Billboard lists the album at #4 for the best selling albums of 1967. Bobbie's massive hit single of the same name is listed at #3 for the top 100 singles of 1967. This marks the first time ever a female artist would break the one million copy ceiling in both singles and albums  in the country music genere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skytorch (talk • contribs) 06:51, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
