[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EJdaniel.JPG

Image:EJdaniel.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 Wikipedia articles 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 03:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rationale for removing (rather than querying) a small portion of the Covers section

I've removed the following from the covers section:

A very popular cover was made in Montreal by Nasser Al-Shawwa, a Civil Engineering student at McGill University, in October 2007, and a notable jazz influence was added to the song.

I can find no external reference to this 'popular cover' despite multiple searches using multiple engines (both Anglophone and Francophone).

Even broadening the searches show no signs of this 'popular cover'.

For example a Google search on just 'Nasser Al-Shawwa', as of 2008/01/01 13:13 UTC, returns only one hit: the Wikipedia article on the John/Taupin song Daniel.

I couldn't find any reference to this apparently significant recording in Montreal-specific media either.

I think this is enough due diligence to call this vandalism.
