POV

This article contains alot of POV, reads more like a review. Its too opinionated. Street walker 12:28, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:In The Closet.jpg

Image:In The Closet.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 08:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No Music Video

I noticed on this article that there is no official summary of the music video. I do know for a fact that the music video starred Michael and a young Naomi Campbell in a sexually suggestive video. I think the article needs a music video section. User:Yoda317 —Preceding undated comment added 00:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

It would be an improvement if you could play the songs on the page to hear them or reference videos with the music. Currently, you have to use another site to do this in reference to the information given here. 69.171.163.2 (talk) 14:18, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Error in Critical Reception

The article mischaracterizes Robert Christgau’s reaction to the song and album. That’s not “praise” - it’s skepticism of the lyrical content of several songs on the “Dangerous” album. 2603:8000:7302:5E4A:F14F:9A78:57B3:5B7D (talk) 06:11, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
