Fair use rationale for Image:Marilyn manson rock is dead.jpg[edit]
Image:Marilyn manson rock is dead.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 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.BetacommandBot05:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"... released as the thirdd single from their third studio album" - typo.
"The song was featured on the soundtrack of the Keanu Reeves film The Matrix (1999)" - The Matrix was not directed by Keanu Reeves. I think this sentence could be: "The song was featured on the soundtrack of The Wachowskis' film The Matrix (1999)."
I think that the word "song" appears too much in the second paragraph.
"A music video for the song was directed by Manson and Samuel Bayer features the band performing the song in costume." - I don't understand this sentence. The music video was directed by Manson and Samuel Bayer or Samuel Bayer features the band performing?
"A second version of the video was released that features clips from The Matrix." - Maybe it could be better to write: "A second version of the video features clips from The Matrix and was released in order to promote the film." (or something like that)
Background
I don't think that the image of Keave Reeves is necessary in this article, since The Matrix is not his. Also, did that film influence the recording and composition of the song in any way?
The song existed before it was included on the soundtrack.
Composition
Is there any information about the song's key, time signature, tempo and chord progression?
I can find no info on the subject from a good source.
I feel that some quotes belong to the critical reception section.
I disagree; these quotes are about the track's composition.
Critical reception
Is Annalee Newitz's review that important for the article to have an image of her? Her review appears in only one short sentence.
Music video
"... and was directed by Manson alongside Samuel Bayer." - Who is Samuel Bayer? The sentence could be "... and was directed by Manson alongside American director Samuel Bayer." Also, did Manson and Bayer work before on other videos?
"... while the rest of the band are dressed in attire similar to the kind worn by them in the Mechanical Animals booklet." - I find this sentence weird.
Credits and personnel
Is there information about the studios were the song was recorded and mixed?
No
Charts
Did the song rank on any year-end chart in 1999?
No
The article could have a brief chart performance section.
It was not a hit & I can't find articles on its chart performance.
Did the song receive any certifications?
No
Overall
There is an inconsistency regarding citation marks. Sometimes a quote ends with the citation mark before the full stop/period.
@Brankestein: I addressed your concerns. Thanks for the help!
You can't exactly say the article is "missing" a chart performance section. The song's performance on charts was nominal, so it was decided to omit 'Chart performance' in favour of simply 'Charts'. A 'Chart performance' section isn't a requirement of the GA criteria. Homeostasis07 (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
