Fair use rationale for Image:Marilyn Manson - mOBSCENE.jpg

Image:Marilyn Manson - mOBSCENE.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.

mOBSCENE

Shouldn't this article be called "mOBSCENE"? The only rational argument I have heard to not use the official, proper and accepted name is that all other uses in the article would have to also use capital letters. But this is a very short article and changing all the "Mobscene"s to "mOBSCENE"s would not make the article look bad at all, because it is only used a very few times in the first place.

Also I have read in the renaming proposal that the only reason the renaming was dismissed was because the only article that is allowed to lowercase its first letter is iPod article under instructions from Apples legal department. But jPod (TV series) also uses the {{Lowercase}} lowercase code which lowercases the first letter of the title. JayKeaton (talk) 07:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Read policy, specifically Wikipedia:NAMING#Use standard English for titles even if trademarks encourage otherwise, your argument is moot. — Moe ε 23:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

fIREHOSE

Is the name inspired by the spelling of the band fIREHOSE? If someone could confirm this, it could go into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DuggersCup (talk • contribs) 00:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Chant

Lines in the song chanted by female vocalists, "Be obscene, be, be obscene..." are inspired by a quote by Oscar Wilde that has been commonly used as a chant among cheerleaders. Many critics have also compared lines in this song to the TV gameshow in the 2000 film, Requiem for a Dream, starring Jared Leto ("Be excited, be, be excited...").

This is incomprehensible, in addition to being unsourced.

One presumes the author was attempting to compare the "be obscene" chant to the very common "be aggressive" cheerleading yell, but this makes it sound like cheerleaders frequently quote Oscar Wilde. Of course we have the weasel-y "many critics" in the middle, and a spurious comparison at the end. 76.218.69.148 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC). I see now the last sentence has been removed, but still no documentation for that being used as a chant by cheerleaders. I'll take it out. If someone has a reference for it, pls feel free to put it back in. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 13:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

"Composition" needs expansion

Simply put, it's too short, and doesn't say anything that isn't already said in the Genre field. The song source that is in this section could easily be added there instead, if we were to remove this instead of expanding. I am an amateur at editing Wikipedia, though, and don't know how to best approach this, so leaving a comment here hoping someone who knows more about this can address this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gigakoops (talk • contribs) 23:51, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
