Fair use rationale for Image:Heavenandhull.jpg
Image:Heavenandhull.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 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 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 23:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Mistake - wrong bridge in photo
I can't find any source to verify this, but (as someone from the Hull/Humber area who owns the album)I am absolutely certain that the bridge in the photo on the inside of the CD cover is NOT actually the Humber Bridge (even though whoever produced the sleeve and wrote the caption obviously believed it was)

I don't have a copy of the image to hand, but I seem to remember the give-away clues were the shape of the towers, and the location of the foot of the towers (i.e. in the image, both towers are in the water but the real Humber Bridge's north tower is actually built on the shore).

If anyone could find a source for this, it would preserve my sanity a little. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.185.153.35 (talk) 13:07, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, I've just gone and made a minor change to the main article, which will hopefully prompt people to investigate this "wrong bridge" issue. Where the article previously read: On the CD notes, there is a striking photo of the Humber Bridge from Ronson's home town and a quote from Sham Morris...

I've taken the liberty of replacing this with: On the CD notes, there is a striking photo of a suspension bridge (supposedly the Humber Bridge from Ronson's home town) and a quote from Sham Morris...

I figure this way, it remains true and verifiable (the photo is supposedly of the Humber Bridge, since that is what the album claims it to be), but at the same time includes the possibility that it is not actually the Humber Bridge. Meanwhile, I don't think I've made any claim that is unverifiable.

I know this is arguably original research, and weasle words, or whatever, but I figured the whole article is lacking in citation, so it's not like I've made it any less reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.185.153.35 (talk) 13:43, 21 July 2011 (UTC)


 * For reference here's a scan of the back cover of the album, and here's a photograph of the bridge from a similar angle. They look similar but the details are off - the image on the album appears to have an edit in the middle to make it shorter, perhaps to make it fit on the album, but the Humber Bridge's road is much thinner. It's credited to a photo agency, so perhaps the photo agency supplied the wrong image. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:38, 6 February 2016 (UTC)


 * In fact it seems to resemble the Forth Road Bridge more closely, e.g. this image. Frustratingly the internet has masses of useless stock images of bridges taken from one or other bank, but very few of bridges taken side-on (because that would require effort). -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:46, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
