Fair use rationale for Image:Hangfire.jpg

[edit]

Image:Hangfire.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 05:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slob or sod?

[edit]

The article quotes the lyric as follows:

Are you sure the correct word is slob? I thought it was sod -- "I'm a lazy sod." "Lazy sod" is an English figure of speech, one fitting for a song like "Hang Fire" which is sung in a cockney accent. Moreover, in their 1977 debut album, the Sex Pistols had a song called "Seventeen (I'm a Lazy Sod)" with the lyrics "I'm a lazy sod" repeated many times. I always thought maybe the one song influenced the other. Chisme (talk) 21:46, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
