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.

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.

Hatnote to clarify "who needs a heart"

"Who Needs a Heart" redirects to this article, obviously because the album contains a track of that title. However, I searched for that when the song I really had in mind was "What's Love Got to Do with It" (its lyrics contain "who needs a heart when a heart can be broken"). Should we put some kind of hatnote on this article? If so, what wording do you suggest? SoledadKabocha (talk) 03:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. It is reasonable to have a REDIRECT for a song pointing to its album. I don't think it's practical to start creating REDIRECTs based on song lyrics. In this case, the first 6 Google hits deliver the answer. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I did end up googling right after, and I was not objecting to the existence of the redirect itself. The problem was, I would have been bold about this were it not for the difficulty of wording. So, thanks, I suppose. SoledadKabocha (talk) 20:48, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More specifically, I intended to ask: Why is consistency such an important consideration here? What part of WP:Hatnote and/or WP:Manual of Style/Music would such a hatnote violate? SoledadKabocha (talk) 19:41, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personnel: "Git-Tar" & "Diesel" ?

Out of curiosity , and considering there isn't a notation , how do we know , that "Git-Tar" is "Jimmy Webb" and "Diesel" is "Dee Murray" , as hyper-linked? Neither artists' Wiki entry mentions this album , these alias , an association with Ringo , etc… Just wondering if there is some sort of reference source , that can confirm this information. 75.104.163.77 (talk) 16:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
