Fair use rationale for Image:Commitmentsmovieposter.jpg
Image:Commitmentsmovieposter.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The two featured songs in the movie were "Treat Her Right" by blue-eyed soul legend Roy Head and The Traits,[1] and "Mustang Salley" by Wilson Pickett.70.112.115.67 (talk) 13:03, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Commitmentette
The article uses the phrase "Commitmentettes" but it isn't something I've heard of before and I'm not seeing which of the reliable sources this phrase comes from. The word is used 3 times, and the 3 citations the follow those usages don't use the phrase. It would be better to avoid that label if it is not contained in the sources. -- 109.77.226.122 (talk) 04:00, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You will need to watch the film because that is where it comes from. Thus it is proper to use in the article. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 04:22, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Entertainment Weekly uses it here though they do have a hyphen. I haven't played the film with the subtitles so I don't know if they use a hyphen. might have time to take a look since my weekend is on the busy side. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 04:30, 6 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks for that. Although you've verified the phrase, I wouldn't say it was a particularly good choice of wording to include it repeatedly. For example: [The stamp] "includes lead singer Deco Cuffe (Andrew Strong), along with the three "Commitmentettes" – Imelda Quirke (Angeline Ball), Natalie Murphy (Maria Doyle Kennedy) and Bernie McGloughlin (Bronagh Gallagher)." need not mention Commitmentettes since it gives their names in full. The article for Angeline Ball says the same thing another way "The image includes her The Commitments co-stars Robert Arkins as Jimmy Rabbitte, Maria Doyle Kennedy as Natalie Murphy and Bronagh Gallagher as Bernie McGloughlin.[1]" and doesn't use the phrase at all. (Although now that I think about it, that other article is wrong Jimmy isn't on the stamp, it's clearly Deco.) -- 109.77.226.122 (talk) 04:44, 6 October 2018 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. I would suggest that we see if any other editors respond to your suggestions in the next few days since this has gone through the "Good Article" process. Now I am not saying that a GA can't be edited because that is not the case. I would just like more input before proceeding. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 04:49, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Roddy Doyle sequel
Should this piece not reference Roddy Doyle'sspin off from 2015?--Rorylyng — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rorylyng (talk • contribs) 03:29, 12 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I can find no book by RD published in 2015. Do you mean The Guts (novel) from 2013? In any event this article is about the film and so mention of a book is not appropriate at this time. If it is ever adapted into a film as The Snapper and The Van were then it might merit a brief mention. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 03:59, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

This article does not need to repeat what instruments the band members play over and over again. It is right there at the beginning of the plot section. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 21:46, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
