[edit] Fair Use Rationale dispute

I had included a rationale in the File Summary, but apparently only computers decide these things. All the more reason the issue of something as simple as an album cover should be a simple, all-purpose template and the bots called off their scent. Don't you remember reading encyclopedias and textbooks when you were a kid? Ideally every page features a photograph, diagram or other image of the subject; studies show that both initial understanding and memory recall are greatly aided when visual elements accompany text or speech. Given the visual nature of the internet, pages without images are old-fashioned, dull throwbacks to the internet's early days, or the days when color printing was too expensive and so not in common practice in newspapers and books. So often substandard info appears throughout the web accompanied by splashy photos; it is a public service to associate the accurate info at Wiki with a similar image(s). Otherwise, people will naturally gravitate toward other sites with photos, believing them to be clearer, more informative or associative, and more complete.
