[edit] Allbum Name

Someone PLEASE explain why its called Vs.! I don't see that in the cover, spine, back, booklet, or CD. So why isn't it selftitled? Redwolf24 7 July 2005 04:49 (UTC)

It does in fact say "Vs." next to "Pearl Jam" on the jewel case spine. --Kevin McManus 20:36, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
Don't see it. Redwolf24 11:00, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
I scanned a copy: Vs. case spine --Kevin McManus 21:16, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
This is interesting. It's not on the cover of the CD I have here, so maybe there are different versions? Straal 22:37, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] In Utero

"Vs.'s competing album In Utero by Nirvana sold half as much as much as Vs. due to it's continous noise songs"

This sort of thing doesn't belong in any article. For a few reasons. It's inaccurate, 7 mil vs. 5 mil does not equal half as much. Why is it a competing album? This should be noted. "due to it's continuous noise songs" is without any source, completely biased, and also untrue.

[edit] Most Sold in a week

"Pearl Jam will always hold the title for most albums sold in the first five days" - I have changed this as it reads like a prediction; changing to "still hold the record"... problem is, this may not be true. Who knows if those f*cking boy band albums sold more copies in their first five days?

Look unless someone can come up with a source that backs that they sold most album in a week it should be removed from the article. Honestly I think U2 sold over 1 million copies in their first week back in the 80s with their Joshua Tree.--70.129.55.17 08:22, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Daughter.ogg

Image:Daughter.ogg 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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
