Pun

[edit]

Why is this article in category "Puns"?

It's actually pretty clever. It's a pun on the standard weather forecasting format whereby snowfall is reported in inches; vinyl albums were traditionally 12" in diameter and the performer used the name Snow. It's a double pun and it's doubly clever for being perfectly clean. But I agree that it's silly to have it in the puns category. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 23:05, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
12 also refers to the number of tracks on the vinyl LP. The CD release has two bonus tracks.
Incidentally, calling the album "reggae" is not entirely correct. Snow's work is Jamaican-Irish-Reggae-Rap. Kid Bugs (talk) 16:01, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention the allusions to Snow's 12-inch penis. 72.48.162.214 (talk) 06:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
[citation needed] on Snow's 12-inch penis. Or, on second thought, I'd rather not. 174.250.22.11 (talk) 23:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Twelveinchesofsnow.jpg

[edit]

Image:Twelveinchesofsnow.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 04:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
