Fair use rationale for Image:Janet Young Love.jpeg

[edit]

Image:Janet Young Love.jpeg 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 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.

Hi, I'll be reviewing this entry. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 12:12, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Background
  • "Janet Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, the youngest of ten children.[1] Jackson had initially desired to become a horse racing jockey or entertainment lawyer, with plans to support herself through acting. Despite this, she was anticipated to pursue a career in entertainment, and considered the idea after recording herself in the studio.[1] At age seven, Jackson performed at the Las Vegas Strip at the MGM Casino and began acting in the variety show The Jacksons in 1976.[1] In 1977, she was selected to have a starring role as Penny Gordon Woods in the sitcom Good Times.[1] She later starred in A New Kind of Family before joining the cast of Diff'rent Strokes, portraying Charlene Duprey for two years.[1]" - Till here the same sources is used throughout. Hence, only include the citation at the end ("She later starred in A New Kind of Family before joining the cast of Diff'rent Strokes, portraying Charlene Duprey for two years.") and remove all previous occurrences.
  • "After the single "Young Love" was released, it became a hit with young people.[4]" - This is more concerned with Reception rather than background. Thus move it to the more appropriate section.
Composition, reception
  • "[described the song] as an uptempo, happy song with a good hook" - this is taken directly from the source without no change in the wording. Either paraphrase it (which I think would be better) or put "uptempo, happy song with a good hook" in quotation marks.
  • "Critical reviews for "Young Love" were limited; however, music critics received it positively" - This sentence is very jumbled and incorrect. You don't need to mention that the reviews were limited or the reception was positive (since it's in the lead); simply start with the summarisation of the reviews. I suggest removing the sentence altogether.
  • " its principal singles chart" - Consider changing "its" to "the"
Live perf
  • Ref 12 - Sheppard, Denise (September 11, 2008). "Janet Jackson Opens Rock Witchu Tour With Three Decades of Hits, Video Duets and Pyro". Rolling Stone (Jann Wenner). Retrieved June 17, 2014. - The link does not lead to the desired web page.
Lead
  • It was written and produced by René Moore, Angela Winbush, with additional production by Bobby Watson. It was released as Jackson's debut single on July 7, 1982 by A&M Records. - Why doesn't any of this appear in the body. Per WP:LEAD you must include everything mentioned in the lead in the body too
  • " held in New Orleans, Louisiana"- not required here
