Fair use rationale for Image:CrystalLewis.jpg

Image:CrystalLewis.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Current Husband

I haven't researched Crystal, so maybe this is an applicable way to put this. But indicating "her current husband" carries a lot of possibly unintended baggage. Has Crystal been married before? Is a divorce or separation looming?

For a woman who proclaims to be a Christian, saying "current husband" indicates that today's society, contrary to the values of Christianity, considers marriage -- any marriage -- to be a very fleeting thing.

Considering the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith, if this is Crystal's only marriage to date, it would be far more respectful to simply say "her husband" instead of "her current husband".Dawynn (talk) 19:37, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. I have done a check and there is nothing to indicate she has had more than one marriage. It says here she has been married to Brian Ray for 15 years : http://www.christianmusiclighthouse.com/main/biography/crystallewisbio/index.htm. I have changed it to read "her husband" 82.18.164.15 (talk) 02:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She is not divorced

She is divorced. The children are not from her current husband. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.70.182.62 (talk) 14:26, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While this is true, the only source I can find is her blog,[1] and that is not considered a reliable source. But also what is now in the "Personal life" section is not referenced, and since it's not accurate (except for the part about the kids), I think it should be removed. --Musdan77 (talk) 17:23, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You should actually read the blog (if the colours worked on any browser without selecting all of the text). It states that in 2009 she and her husband had moved "15 times in the 20 years i’ve been married." And again "i guess when you’ve been married for 20 years and have a couple of kids, things accumulate." What discusses her divorce? There is a reply from "Babs C" in the blog that discusses that author's divorce, but it's not the subject's. So if in 2009 she had been married for 20 years and her oldest child, as mentioned in her live album released in 1999, was not yet 8, I'd say that we have no proof of infidelity or of her children having a step-father. Granted she may have divorced in the past two years, but without a source, it's a WP:BLP issue. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:04, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, my mistake. I didn't highlight it all. Good to know. Thanks. --Musdan77 (talk) 18:20, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
