message: :Image:Mariahcarey-usacdalbum2picture41.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.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Mariah Carey (album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "austria":
From Music Box (Mariah Carey album): 
From Fantasy (Mariah Carey song): 
From One Sweet Day: 
From Heartbreaker (Mariah Carey song): 
From Rainbow (Mariah Carey album): 
From Charmbracelet: 
From Butterfly (Mariah Carey album): 
From Emotions (Mariah Carey album): 
From MTV Unplugged (Mariah Carey EP): 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:16, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The cover art is vertical, but it is further detailed. Shall I include it or replace the longstanding infobox image? George Ho (talk) 17:55, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  The CD and vinyl editions cropped out some details, Jack. --George Ho (talk) 14:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't appear to be the point. What is the point is that you need a RS that states that this is vitally important and not just some trivial bit. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:25, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

text:  I'll clarify, FoCuSandLeArN, assuming you haven't owned the album: the CD/vinyl artwork is a headshot of the woman with her shoulders and black straps. The cassette artwork shows her dress and arms. And no, the image is not clipped; the CD artwork is just the way it is. --George Ho (talk) 15:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ha! No, I haven't. So what do you want to replace the infobox image with? FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:27, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  It depends on consensus. That means whatever you want, FoCuSandLeArN: one or two images in an infobox. Do you want the cassette image and/or CD image in the infobox? --George Ho (talk) 02:24, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Is the cassette image even on Commons? FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 02:32, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Front cover is non-free and not in Commons, FoCuSandLeArN. George Ho (talk) 02:59, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

text: I would keep the current picture in the infobox. This is far from being the only album where the cover of the cassette version is the same photo as used on LP/CD but cropped differently because of the dimensions of the inlay card/cassette case – in fact, I would go so far as to say it became the norm from the early 1980s onwards to use differently cropped versions of the same photo for LP/CD and for cassette, so we would have to consider the majority of the albums released during this decade if we wanted to decide which cover art to use in Wikipedia articles. Apart from being easier to include in the infobox, the square version is the better one to use because I would imagine that far more people are familiar with and bought the CD rather than the cassette. It's also the picture that will be used on Amazon, AllMusic, and any other website where people look for information. Richard3120 (talk) 20:16, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
