Finetooth comments: I peer-reviewed this article in November, and I find it much improved. However, I'm not sure what fresh ideas I can add. I've read the FAC comments, and it seems that the biggest remaining issues involve the fair-use rationale for the lead image and the depth of the musical analysis. I don't see how a peer review can resolve either of these issues directly. Here, however, are a couple of thoughts.

• FAC can be a difficult process, and issues unanticipated by the nominator often arise. In my experience, when a reviewer raises an unexpected issue, it's best to consider the reviewer's suggestions with an open mind and not to rush to defend or rebut. It seems possible to me that the fair-use rationale issue might be resolved by giving a more complete answer to the reviewer's questions about the rationale. If I understand the situation correctly, the reviewer wants to know why you think the image is necessary for an understanding of the article and why you think the fair-use rationale is precisely right. To say that all similar articles have such images and that the rationale is generated by a template may be perfectly true, but it is also evasive. If you re-nominate, you will be faced with these questions again. My advice would be to try to answer these questions more directly, without reference to other articles, template authors, or projects. Do you think the image is necessary? Why? Do you think the template language is exactly right? If so, why? If not, why not change it? (You are not obliged to use the template, and some of its parameters allow its language to be altered.) Please understand that I am not taking sides in the debate; I'm suggesting a way to negotiate toward consensus.
