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.

Facts to be verified
1. Rejecting the Wailers. Rejections during auditions were common. Most vocal groups faced multiple rejections before landing a recording deal. Source needed for Duke Reid's rejection of Wailers and why it was signifigant.

2. Starting Treasure Isle liquor store business. Duke Reid left the police force after coming into a large sum of money. Generally this is attributed to his wife winning the lottery. Several JA music books make note of it, need to find quotes before inserting information. Upsetterfc 17:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

DUKE REID DID NOT FORM TROJAN RECORDS
The article is implying that Duke Reid owned or founded Trojan records. He didn't. It was a British outfit. There seems to be a confusion. The origins of both Trojan Sound System and Trojan records stem from the Trojan truck and someone has crossed wires. Can that be changed at all?

 * Where does it imply that? Trojan Records was originally set up to release Reid's productions, and later became a more general reggae label, but I don't even see that mentioned in the article. --Michig (talk) 06:52, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

The other record companies mentioned, were all his. It is implied by relation to the others. Perhaps someone should put something along the lines you have mentioned. It is ambiguous. Trojan were a British outfit, who I would argue didn't start primarily to release Duke's stuff in the UK.

"Getting released on Reid’s own labels and in the U.K. Trojan Records (named after his Sound System) which he created with Chris Blackwell and Lee Gopthal from Island Records. " this type of thing, it is complete nonsense. Perpetuating a myth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.168.130 (talk) 13:28, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Trojan Records in its original incarnation was set up to release Reid's productions - see the history from the label's own website. --Michig (talk) 15:13, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
