[edit] Quotation marks

"40" was so titled, with double quotation marks, on the War album, Under a Blood Red Sky, the single cover whose image is shown here, etc. I have moved the name of the article accordingly, and fixed all the links to it to be direct ones.

Given this, together with the WP guidance to refer to songs using double quotation marks, together with the normal usage of quotes within quotes becoming single quotation marks, refer to the song as "'40'" (that's "-'-4-0-'-" if you can't see it clearly) in this article and in the other U2 articles. But this is hard to visually parse in many fonts, and seems a long way to go. It's better, to me at least, to leave references to the simple "40". Wasted Time R 21:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] dc Talk cover

dc Talk covered this song and put it on their Solo CD. It was the only song that had all their voices on it. It was also the only live recording on the album.--Chili14^{(Talk|Contribs)} 22:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Songwriter credit missing

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:U2 40.jpg

Image:U2 40.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.BetacommandBot 04:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
