Fair use rationale for Image:Vandi geia.jpg[edit]

Image:Vandi geia.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 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.

Sales/ certification[edit]

I'm sorry, but how can the sales of 200,000 copies (400,000 discs) be rewarded with 5x platinum, while Anna Vissi's "Kravgi" has sales of 175,000 copies (350,000 discs), but has been rewarded with the certification of 7x platinum (with the sales figures extracted from the same source)? I will change both articles, using the level of platinum used in Greece since 09/2009 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFPI_Greece#Certification_levels ), meaning that "Kravgi" is more than 14x platinum, and "Gia" more than 16x platinum. If there is something wrong with this approach, then by all means, improve it. Use, however, the same standard for both albums, otherwise it doesn't make any sense at all anymore. --Robster1983 (talk) 09:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

5x and 200k versus 400k[edit]

We have two mostly conflicting sources for Gia.

This one from 2003 says it was certified 5x platinum for 200,000 units and portrays such sales as being very high for a country of 8 million people.[1]
This one from 2010 says that it sold 400,000 (units or discs it doesn't specify) and does not mention a certification level.[2]

Here is the issue, if it were to have sold 400,000 units in 2001, then it would have been certified 8 times platinum (since according to IFPI Greece in 2001 platinum=50,000), which is not the case here leading me to be skeptical about that source. It is most likely referring to the number of discs sold since it was a 2-disc album, but that seems random and irrelevant since you might as well count number of pages in the booklet, ounces of plastic in the case, etc. (Ok maybe that's extreme, but you get what I am saying). Since the certification level was reduced in 2002, I believe that the album was certified 5 times platinum during that period when the certification level for platinum was 40,000 units (5x40,000=200,000). Selling that many units so quickly in one year would have been impossible. Add to that the rerelease in 2002 and it makes much more sense. What does everyone think?
