[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Mad Bluebird on stained glass.jpg

Image:The Mad Bluebird on stained glass.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 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.

I don't see why including a copy of the picture on this page isn't fair use. The fact that it has been used prolifically as a novelty item makes it relevant to pop culture. That is aside from the fact that the article is, after all, on the picture itself. Thirty seconds and a Google image search for mad+bluebird+michael+smith and I had a medium-resolution copy of the photo anyway, so what good is it anyway to nitpick over if it is fair use or not?
