Fair use rationale for Image:Fadingdays.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Fadingdays.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. 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. MER-C 08:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your recent edits.
Hi! I've noticed that on many articles relating to Simple Plan you have changed the genre in the infobox from "Pop punk" to "Pop". While you are certainly entitled to your opinions, Wikipedia must be written according to reliable sources. Most of the reliable sources call Simple Plan's music pop punk, and thus it must stay that way. Thanks for your time! — Poe Joe (formerly Ian Lee) (Talk) 22:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
