Fair use rationale for Image:Prince-Endorphinmachine-80098.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Prince-Endorphinmachine-80098.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 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.

Concept album
[edit]Is there a quality source that states this is a concept album? Since this has interlocking interludes (a man accessing different "experiences"), I think it would qualify but I know that's original research. 12.162.122.5 (talk) 18:01, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

P control
[edit]Earlier this month you removed "Pussy Control", saying if "P Control" is its official title, that is what we should include. However, just earlier, you removed "P Control" and retained "Pussy Control". In the interim time, I provided a ref to the promo single of "319/Pussy Control" as proof that the title of "Pussy Control" was censored for the album release, and is known by two titles (but is the same song). The page has included both for quite a while, and maintaining them was a stable version. If you disagree, can you please take it to the talk page (per WP:BRD) instead of this delayed back-and-forth revert-type thing? Thanks. Perhaps a solution is noting elsewhere on the page that the title was censored. However, because the album does not have extensive prose, this is why it is noted next to the title.

- Please discuss on the talk page and stop removing it per WP:BRD. The first ref proving the title is "Pussy Control" would be meaningless otherwise. I think there may be a case for both sides of this (that the title of the song was first released with the full title; it is at least noteworthy enough to include); however, no consensus can be reached by continually reverting whether formally or informally. Ss112 09:40, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Since you insist taking the discussion here, even though you didn't post here yourself...
- The album clearly lists the track title as "P control". At best we could include a note that the song is called "Pussy control" in other releases. However, I object to the word "censored" being used as the changed title was done by the artist/producers, not by some outside entity. Str1977 (talk) 09:45, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Have changed already. Ss112 09:46, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Str1977: I believe the "also known as" is relevant, as the song goes by two names. People still refer to it as both. Ss112 09:49, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Ss112: That's already included in the "originally titled". Saying the same thing twice IMO is not only redundant and clumsy but also overstating the case. I could also live with "alternatively titled" or "previously released as" or "also released as". Str1977 (talk) 10:24, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in The Gold Experience
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The Gold Experience's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:35, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
