[edit] Material facts/Prima facie evidence

It's not necessary to stick a citation tag on every single line of an article. A banner at the top to cover the whole article would do a better job if it needs cleaning up. Removing uncited material would improve the article more than listing a dozen citation tags. Citation tags aren't necessary for facts which are common knowledge and are known by the general public as being facts. The fact that Del Shannon killed himself doesn't have to be cited. Whether he enjoyed a hit with a song or not isn't necessary either; everyone knows "Runaway" was a hit. The excess citation tags litter the article.68.117.181.136 22:30, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Del shannon.jpg

Image:Del shannon.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.
