Image copyright problem with Image:Music blonde on blonde.jpg[edit]

The image Image:Music blonde on blonde.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --01:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:RainyDayWomen.jpg[edit]

File:RainyDayWomen.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 non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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.

I'll review this. I should have it finished by the end of the weekend, hopefully earlier. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:30, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	I do not see any errors. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Two comments below. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply] Resolved. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	References format is acceptable. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:33, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	I see citations are either to books about Dylan and/or his music, to reviews in credible publications, and to music charts to support chart positions. I do not have any concerns about reliability of the sources in this article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:33, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	2c. it contains no original research.	I cannot see any instances of original research. Sources are used to support all claims. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Nothing from an Earwig check. Most sources are offline, so am going to AGF here. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	We have coverage of the song's recording, release, composition, reception, and covers. I don't see anything missing. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	From my reading, I don't see anywhere the article either goes into too much detail or goes off-topic. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Maintains a neutral, encyclopedic tone throughout. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Article history shows steady improvements, no issues here. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:33, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	We have an image of the album cover and an audio sample, both provided with valid fair use rationales. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	All good here. I see alt text on the image, and the image and audio sample both have proper captions. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
	7. Overall assessment.	On hold pending resolution of my comments below. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply] Issues resolved, promoting. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:02, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Prose comments[edit]

...Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, folk musician Greg Brown, and the Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show. is a WP:SEAOFBLUE and either some links should be removed or the sentence rearranged. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Robert Johnson is linked 3 times in the body.

That's really all I have. The prose here is outstanding. Usually I can find more than this to comment on but I'm happy with it going to GA once these two items are addressed. On hold for now. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, Trainsandotherthings. I've made amendments in response to your comments. Let me know if anything else is required. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:29, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now, I will promote the article. I have some nominations up if you wish to return the favor, but this is optional. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:02, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Trainsandotherthings, thanks for reviewing this. And thanks to @BennyOnTheLoose for starting up and shepherding the process. Allreet (talk) 23:31, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
