[edit] Material removed

This article included information relating to Greatest Hits II and III, and Queen Rocks, despite the fact that these are not the albums described in the title/infobox, and have their own articles.

The article was neither specific to the first Greatest Hits compilation, nor a proper "catch all" for Queen's compilations. Since the other articles existed (and are notable), the material not relating to Greatest Hits (I) has mostly been removed; OTOH, closely-related albums (such as the "We Will Rock You" edition of Greatest Hits) now redirect here, since they are not separately notable, and are more clearly seen in the context of the original album.

I also split up the "history" section (which refers to lots of compilations, but...). I personally think that this goes into too much depth and analysis over what are basically just different (but mostly similar) compilations of Queen's work, but left the actual material intact anyway.

I saw somewhere that this passed Sgt. Pepper as the highest selling album in the U.K. Any truth to this? --68.51.88.109 02:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Queen Greatest Hits.jpg

Image:Queen Greatest Hits.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 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.
