Fair use rationale for Image:Alice in Chains (album).jpg

Image:Alice in Chains (album).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 Misplaced Pages 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.

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 18:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Jar of Flies

Shouldn't Jar of Flies be listed as the last album since it came out in between Dirt and Alice in Chains? Shaneymike (talk) 19:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

No. Read WP:ALBUM formatting rules. The Real Libs-speak politely 19:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Relevant section is Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Albums#Chronology, which says nothing about precluding Jar of Flies. The intent of the section is to keep live releases, compilations, and singles from junking up the chronology; EPs are fair game, and I'd say especially so in this case since the EP isn't just a rough approximation of a forthcoming album (e.g., Loudest Love), that is, assuming that's your reasoning.

Also note that EP is an antiquated term that arose from the physical limitations of the vinyl medium. Trying to assert that a record is in an entirely separate subclass based on that limitation alone is flawed. (For that matter, Jar of Flies doesn't even qualify for the EP designation by UK music charting, because it's both over 25 minutes in length and has more than 4 tracks. Apparently the RIAA doesn't care to make these distinctions, so that's the only metric I can apply.) I'll likely be re-adding these soon. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 18:40, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 20:24, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

The article must be global. If it isn't an EP everywhere then your proposal holds water. My only suggestion would have been courtesy to wait for at least 3 people to agree with you before implementing. Its done now so democracy be dashed. The Real Libs-speak politely 11:57, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

It's an EP in neither the UK nor the US. It's not an EP in the UK because the charting qualifications explicitly rule it out. It's not in the "EP subclass" in the US because nothing that I can gather, e.g., from the RIAA, supports the notion that there even is such a thing.

The comment was here for a full six months with nary a reply. Additionally, the state the infoboxes were in meant that if you clicked the next in the series of albums link from, e.g., the Jar of Flies article, and clicked the previous in the series link from the Alice in Chains album article, then you would be at the Dirt article, not back here. That's broken. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

But what about this? "For some artists it may be more appropriate to include all album types in one chain" Shaneymike (talk) 13:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Dubious claim

From the article:

cover art featuring a three-legged dog (Jerry Cantrell's dog Sunshine)
1. FYI: Alice in Chains Evolvor.com (August 10, 2007). Retrieved on 10-05-08.

The cited website is user-generated content and is no more reliable than Misplaced Pages. If it's true, we need a better source for it, but sounds like tape-traders' band folklore to me. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 18:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this is in any way true, except for possibly the name of the dog. From what I have read over the years, the dog was one that terrorized Sean Kinney on his childhood paper route. However, I cannot find anyway to verify this claim either. But for what its worth, and being a huge Alice in Chains fan, I have never heard that the dog was Jerry Cantrell's. -- Lifeinchains (talk) 16:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

over now

someone please fix the chart, because "over now" did chart —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.152.183 (talk) 00:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

"Sludge metal"

Can any provide a reliable source connecting this album with the genre of sludge metal? If there isn't, it probably shouldn't be in the article. Sergecross73 msg me 13:12, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

I hope you can read,so just go through the ninth para of the interview.http://guitarinternational.com/2010/08/20/jerry-cantrell-why-is-this-man-smiling/ Metalvayne (talk) 17:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Can you read? Searched for "sludge" in that article, only thing that came up was “I used a Peavey 5150 head on “Sludge Factory”. "Sludge Factory" is the name of the song on this album, no mention of the genre. HrZ (talk) 12:22, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm now sure of the fact that,you can't read & probably weak in math too,I said ninth para,"Cantrell had no difficulties in making a suitably snakelike sludgy Alice in Chains album." How did you miss that man?I'd advice you to contact an eye specialist immediately & thank you for enlightening me with the fact that "Sludge Factory" is a song off the album.
