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.

7" single format
I'm changing the wording that suggests a reason for the edit. Time editing of a five-minute song would not have been done in order to fit the format, as a 7" single is easily capable of more than five minutes of music. (In Germany in the 1980s it was not uncommon to release 7" singles with two songs on each side, with a total length per side of more than eight minutes.)  The reason 7" singles are edited to be shorter than their album versions is because this is the version released to pop radio, and pop radio wants to play as many songs per hour as possible without lingering too long on any one record, so their audience doesn't tune out.  You may notice that remixes on CD singles are often featured in shorter "radio edit" versions that usually run 4 minutes in length or less.  Abrazame (talk) 18:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
