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.

"Rather ironically, the song was track 7 on Oops!... I Did It Again  and track 13 on Greatest Hits: My Prerogative, and was her seventh single (as both the numbers seven and thirteen are traditionally considered to be "unlucky")."
Seven is not considered to be unlucky, quite the opposite actually. If anything, seven is considered to be lucky. Thirteen is considered unlucky though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.200.122 (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

After going back to the United States, the singer revealed in an interview with MTV News, "I just got back from Sweden, and did half [of] the material [for Oops!] over there. I was really, really happy with the material, but we had [such] limited time to get so much done. So I've just really been in the studio nonstop, which is cool, though." --> Upon returning to the United States, the singer revealed in an interview with MTV News that: "I just got back from Sweden, and did half [of] the material [for Oops!] over there.

Billboard magazine contributor Chuck Taylor praised "Lucky", and featured the song on the Spolight column of his Singles Review section, saying, "its contagious melody, bang-in-your-brain hook, the empathetic theme of a girl who's the world biggest superstar and yet feels all alone (hmm...) will make it an easy sell to top 40 radio and to her grand legion of dedicated fans." --> Billboard magazine contributor Chuck Taylor praised "Lucky" and featured the song on the Spolight column of his Singles Review section.

Managed isn't really the proper word to use. It makes it sound as if it was struggle and eventually got there. No need for the comma after United States.
No need for the common after "On the week of August 28, 2000" either.

It's not as if she is dead now or anything. She could do it again on her next tour.
Covered --> performed
The tour is the Speak Now World Tour
located on Louisiana --> in Louisiana
References
MTV --> MTV News
13 should be MTV UK

I've fixed everything, take a look. The Musicnotes url does not change path and the disque en france one also stays the same. - Saulo Talk to Me 21:30, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I am pleased enough with the article to pass it. Great work! I just noticed that the sample should be a bit shorter, but I'm sure that's no problem, as it close enough to the desired length. Statυs (talk) 22:27, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

The Credits and Personnel section lists "LMFAO - background vocals", any citations at all for this? LMFAO didn't even form until 2006... 96.240.191.118 (talk) 19:28, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
