Fair use rationale for Image:Carmen Jones Broadway.jpg
Image:Carmen Jones Broadway.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Translated?
Is "translated" really the right word? Hammerstein didn't just change the words to English; he changed them to a different place and time. "Stan' Up An' Fight", for instance, isn't really a "translation" of "The Toreador's Song"; it's a different song about a different sport, and no mention of dark eyes and love waiting. Having said that, I'm not sure what the right word is. Any ideas? Daibhid C (talk) 02:04, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

CARMEN JONES MUSIC
I was recently commissioned by the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization to engrave a completely new piano-vocal and orchestra score of Carmen Jones. I have performed Bizet's original Carmen many times in both the version with recitatives and the Opéra-Comique version with dialog. In fact, the music to Carmen Jones has been substantially cut down from Bizet's original, and sometimes re-written. All the famous tunes are there, but every single number is shortened, some rather slightly (The Flower Song, Cindy Lou's aria), some drastically (the opening number, the Joe/Cindy Lou duet, the finale to Bizet's act III, the final duet, etc.). The smuggler's chorus and two of the entr'actes are left out entirely. Hammerstein added a ballet in act II. Robert Russell Bennett discreetly adjusted the orchestration to fit a Broadway pit orchestra.--Eqwinter (talk) 14:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you add this to the main article? Readers are encouraged to become Editors by jumping in and expanding articles. As long as the info has citations, chances are it will stay...and you'll have changed history : ) (fewer readers visit these discussion pages) Codenamemary (talk) 20:42, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Curiosities
I would like to include the section of curiosities like the song of Enrique Bunbury with the same name "Carmen Jones" --ElJaguarCurioso (talk) 00:58, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Colloquialism in the article
I'm sorry. " . . .as well as laying down some heavy shade on Joe." What does that mean? And if I don't know, will many other readers know? Should this be reworded into some more precise description? dr-t 18:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr-t (talk • contribs)
