Image:Trustelviscostello.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 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. BetacommandBot 05:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
"Commercially, none of the singles on Trust entered the charts: the first time this had happened since My Aim Is True, his debut album"
That's not true. "Clubland" charted at # 60 in the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.152.94.132 ( talk) 16:50, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Around this time he also struck a friendship with fellow new wave band Squeeze– Is it correct to say he was friends with the band itself? Was it a working relationship, or did he form a friendship with one or more members?
"Watch Your Step" was rush-released as a single– Is "rush-released" a common term in music marketing?
labelling Bruce and Pete Thomas– I'm conflicted as to how this should be written. If there's no relation, then it might be better to label them as "Bruce Thomas and Pete Thomas", but that might still be considered redundant. I'll leave this one to you.
The cover artwork is a headshot of Costello that he described as an ironic nod to the title.– This might need a little more context with a mention that he was supposed to look untrustworthy in the artwork.
Their work ethics were different, which slowed progress.– It might be worth checking if there's more information on how their work ethics were different and how it affected progress.
After a short tour of Norway and Sweden, Costello and Béchirian produced Squeeze's East Side Story (1981) during the six weeks before Christmas 1980.– Is this relevant?
and praised Costello as one of the best musicians in modern music– I don't think this would be warranted unless it was the overwhelming opinion of virtually all critics, which is not the case. This paragraph in the lead should neutrally summarize the overall critical and popular reception.
his absence led to poor shows– We shouldn't describe the shows as poor in wikivoice. Who thought the shows were poor? The band? Critics?
The atmosphere at DJM was similarly dreadful– "dreadful" seems too emotive. I would probably use "troubled" or "strained", but anything less emotive would work.
