Fair use rationale for Image:KimHC2.jpg

Image:KimHC2.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 Wikipedia: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 22:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hard_Core&action=edit# [reply]

Article requirements:

Y A relatively complete infobox
Y Cover art in the infobox
Y A lead section giving an overview of the album
Y At least one section of informative prose other than lead

A track listing (for "start" class), containing track lengths & composers (for "B" class)
A list of personnel (specific band members (for "start" class), guest musicians and technical (for "B" class)

Y Categorisation at least by artist and year

Technically, in order to quality as a "start" class, the article needs a personnel section detailing musicians. For a B class, it also needs information on technical personnel and guest musicians. It needs composers for the songs. Look for these things at AMG, =amg&sql=10:gxfqxqehld6e~T2 here and =amg&sql=10:gxfqxqehld6e~T1 here. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Hard Core (Lil' Kim album)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hard Core (Lil' Kim album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:40, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
