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

Emo Genre Argument
[edit]Ok, this is my first edit really, so go easy on me :D, but I don't understand why people keep getting rid or pushing aside the EMO title that belongs to this album. It really is an Emo album weither people think emo is a bias or not. Someone doesn't seem to understand that Emo is a REAL GENRE, not a label that gets stuck to certain bands. The band even submited material to an EMO Collection CD (The Emo Diaries Chapter One is opened with Jimmy Eat World's appropriatly named song - "Opener") Obviously they concented to putting their material inside the collection as it appears in it in the first place. Also, it isn't an Alternative Rock album at all, but I left the title to please people who would disagree with it at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samushi101 (talk • contribs) 02:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, an old version of the band's Web site clarified that when the band submitted the song "Opener" for that compilation, the album didn't have a title yet, so they don't "consent" to having their music labeled as such--in fact, they hate the term emo so much that they've often listed that compilation as "The *** Diaries" on their site discographies. :P DeadpoolRP (talk) 21:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
