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.

Two months later, on April 11, the songwriters won the Academy Award for Best Original Song,[27] making Sainte-Marie the first known Native American to win an Oscar.[28]
Despite this claim being properly cited and sourced from a published, in print book (Hirschfelder, Arlene; Molin, Paulette (2012), The Extraordinary Book of Native American Lists, Scarecrow Press, p. 35) Buffy Sainte-Marie was born on the Piapot Plains Cree First Nation Reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada.
As noted in Native American name controversy as well as the acknowledgment of Hirschfelder and Molin's book, p. xii, this term is typically used solely to describe the indigenous peoples within the boundaries of the present-day United States of America.
I'm inclined to remove this as trivial (WP:TRIV) rather than call Sainte-Marie the first 'indigenous person of the Americas' to win an Oscar.

Thank you for pointing out this distinction. I'll remove it. —Danaphile (talk) 18:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

This review is transcluded from Talk:Up Where We Belong/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) 12:45, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Comments some recurring themes, especially tone issues making some of it sound like fancruft or a tabloid review.

"It reached record stores.." it would be more encyclopedic to just say that it was released in July to coincide with the film's release.
done
"There were many temporary setbacks " this feels tautological to me, I would just remove "temporary" altogether.
done
"The film's director didn't think Warnes" avoid contractions.
done
Not sure one third of the lead should be all about the setbacks.  The lead, per WP:LEAD is designed to give a broad summary of the whole article, this does not right now.
scaled back - summary expanded
In fact, the tone of the second lead para is very colloquial indeed, not really encyclopedic at all.
scaled back
"It also sold one million copies " probably "more than"
done
"so this was a special moment." tone issues.
reworded
" no money in the film's budget" -> "no remaining budget"
done
"He forged ahead" tone.
done
"Director Taylor Hackford was not budgeted for a ..." is that AmEng?  I would say "... had not... " rather than "was not".
reworded
"Among the half dozen songs" tone, six.
reworded
" the Oscar-nominated" since you're using a colloquial term, link it.
done
"of the movie brought " film.
done
""I wanted to have a song at the end of this film that would cap that romantic spirit. Jack Nitzsche and Buffy Saint-Marie, his then-wife, had written the theme for this, and I wanted a song based on that theme."[12] Nitzsche wanted" wanted ... wanted ... wanted... repetitive prose.
reworded
The interpretation in the first para of the lead is not quite what the only sourced interpretation gives in the "Composition and lyrics" section...
changed
"was a much tougher sell" tone.
removed
"three weeks at number one during its 23 weeks " 3/23 or three/twenty-three per MOSNUM.
done
Link "certification".
done
" 250,000 copies. [23] " remove space before ref.
done
"Their tune also" tune??
reworded
" came in at " tone.
reworded
General thinking: the article is predominantly quotes, probably too much really.
took out or reworded over a dozen quotes
Weekly charts table is initially out of order (UK before U.S...)
removed periods from U.S. as other FA song pages have done
Same for 1983 year-end chart.
see previous item
Row and col scopes would be great per MOS:ACCESS in all these tables, so they are accessible to people viewing using screenreaders.
done
Certification column would be better sorting silver-gold-platinum, rather than simply alphabetically.
I looked at a handful of other FA song pages, and they alphabetized by country. I think it's because, if you look, for example, at the three countries with Gold certification here, the totals in the Certified Units column are different for all three.
Bebe & Cece -> BeBe & CeCe..
done
In refs, " p. 152-153." (for example) should use pp. for multiple pages, and an en-dash, not a hyphen for a numerical range.
done
Sorry you've had to wait so long for a review, these comments are from a quick run-through, once we're through these, I can take another more detailed look.  So, it's on hold for now.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:54, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the time you're dedicating to this. I have started on some of your suggestions and should be able to get to all of them over the next few days. Danaphile (talk) 05:17, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
I've addressed the items listed above and will be taking time off from 11/18 to 11/23. I appreciate having my work reviewed and look forward to additional suggestions.  Danaphile (talk) 02:22, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
References

Online refs should have either publication or accessdate (both is permitted), but not neither, e.g ref 1.  Check throughout.
done
No spaced hyphens per MOS:DASH.  There's one in the main part of the article too.
I'm seeing two spaced hyphen changes made by The Rambling Man on 18 Nov. If there are others, let me know.
Refs 62 & 63 are the same, so re-use!
done
Ref 68, dash in year range.
done
Ref 71 - CeCe, not Cece.
done
You spell out entities like BPI but not RIAA, be consistent.
The only place I'm seeing "riaa" in the references is in 19 that refers to riaa.com. If there are others, let me know.

Thank you so much for reviewing this, and thanks for your edits to the article itself. I look forward to any further revisions I can make. Danaphile (talk) 00:16, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Happy with the updates and the article in general.  Apologies for the delay, I have some off-wiki issues.  In any case, I'm promoting to GA, good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:24, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks so much! I appreciate your time and efforts with this process. Great working with you. Danaphile (talk) 04:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
