Fair use images and cleanup

I've removed the excess copyrighted fair use images again. There were far too many, and most of them (especially the music video screenshots) seemed to serve as nothing more than decoration. Per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, "The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible ... Do not use multiple images or media clips if one will serve the purpose adequately.", and "The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." Also, the images had no fair use rationale on their description pages. I think Luckett's debut album cover is enough.

Another thing is that this article needs a cleanup, and I've tagged it as such. Capitalisation in song and album titles needs to be brought in line with the naming conventions, and song titles shouldn't be in italics (e.g. "Get on the Bus" instead of Get On The Bus). In fact, every other word in this article is capitalised when it doesn't need to be ("Video Director", "Worldwide Sales" etc.). Please don't remove the tag again. Thanks.

Cant we atleast show the single covers?? All other artists have done that in their discography pages?!?!--Samfim 03:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I DONT AGREE. ALL ARTISTS USE ALBUM AND SINGLE COVERS ON THEIR PAGES. SINCERELY. IT IS RELEVANT TO PUT PIC OF MUSIC VIDEO AND BTW THOSE MUSIC VIDEO SCREENSHOTS ARE SOURCED. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.65.114.223 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 15 July 2006.

If other discography articles include images of every single and album cover and music video, then they shouldn't. As I've explained above, we should only use as few fair use images as possible and they should not be used for decorative purposes. It's not about sourcing; it's about fair use. Why are music video screenshots relevant here? You need to explain this on the images' description pages. Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~), do not leave messages in the middle of other people's posts and do not type in all caps, as it creates the impression that you are shouting.
