Fair use rationale for Image:Stay skin.jpg

Image:Stay skin.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.

Full band performance during Elevation Tour?

"... although on some notable occasions, Larry and Adam would join in and the band would play the song as it was first heard of their Zooropa album." - Now I am really curious to acknowledge when were those notable occasions. If this is really true, could someone tell me when did they perform Stay full band during Elevation Tour?

Looks great - After making a few minor edits, I think this one meets GA standards easily. Well done! Lemurbaby (talk) 20:30, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

vocal range?

The claimed vocal range is ridiculous. First, the score linked has the song in the key of E: it may have been written in E, but it's performed in E-flat.

And the highest note Bono sings is a B-flat, one note lower than an octave above middle C.

"D#7" is the highest D# on the piano keyboard. This is a preposterously high note for a male singer, and it occurs nowhere in the song. (Note also that conventionally, vocal lines are notated an octave higher than they are actually sung.)

I have edited out the reference to the vocal range, as a listen to the song demonstrates the alleged highest note is not present in the song 2fs (talk) 22:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This change has been reverted: I am not going to get into an edit war, but anyone with ears can listen to the actual recording and determine that there is no such super-high D# in the song. The reference should go. 2fs (talk) 03:30, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
