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.

Sinatra's "most ambitious concept album"? - discuss!
Hi, I'm intrigued by the claim in the article that "Watertown" is Sinatra's "most ambitious concept album". I'm not into getting too precious with citation requests, so I won't be doing that, and in any case I think it would be far more interesting to start a discussion on it here, if there are any sincere takers. The question to me is: "ambitious in what context"? If we mean in terms of Sinatra's attempts to embrace then-contemporary pop culture, then yes, there is certainly a good case to be made for stating that "Watertown" was his most ambitious attempt, perhaps even an overwhelming one. But how about "ambitious" in terms of sheer artistic merit? Perhaps "Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely" takes the gold medal there, or maybe "September Of My Years" garners a few people's votes on that score. (I'll go for "Only The Lonely"). Or then there's ambitious in terms of grandness of orchestral scale. "The Concert Sinatra" might win that one. Or, just in terms of scale, full stop, the three-disc "Trilogy" must surely stake a claim, if not in many other contexts (the "Past" volume apart). One man's ambition is another's folly, I suppose, but I do think the article's claim needs to be made more specific on the above terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helmut Cabbage (talk • contribs) 21:32, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
