Fair use rationale for Image:VM 1x22 LItB 836.jpg

Image:VM 1x22 LItB 836.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.

Sorry this took so long, I'll try to get my commentary up today so this can end somewhat sooner than it sat on GAN. Courcelles (talk) 18:14, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

• Sourcing

Bare URL has to be formatted

Date format. Pick one and stick to it.

Ref 10; you're using the wrong template- this should be cite news, with the Roanoke Times given as the newspaper, whoever owns them as the publisher, and the Detroit Free Press as the agency

What is Give me my Remote, and why is it a WP:RS?

• Dab Links

Two- GHB and Michael Fields.

• Media

Non-free rationale needs strengthening for the infobox image. My inclination is that a suitable rationale can be written, but what you have now is far too boilerplate

Other image is fine

Thanks for the comments (and for reviewing)! I have gone through and tried to fix the issues raised thus far. I'm not too sure about the rationale of the infobox image, but I've given it a go. Also, I didn't think that GMMR was reliable, and that's why I didn't bother to format it. It's been removed. Thanks, Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 15:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

• Characters should probably be referred to by first and last name on first mention- see FA's What Is and What Should Never Be (Supernatural) and Once More, with Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
• "praised Thomas's use" is s's a regional thing? Normal practice is to omit the second s in such situations.
• WP:LEAD- the lead is not supposed to contain information only found there. The third paragraph might be better suited for a background section.
• The plot section reads as completely disorganised. Further, as someone who never watched this show, I have no idea what is going on. I hate to take you back to the same thing, but look at "Once More...". Background sections can be controversial, but since you're describing the end of a year's plot here, you need something that doesn't throw the reader in the deep end.
• First time you use a dollar sign, link it like this: $; because there are many, many dollars out there.
• "found the finale to be "breathlessly paced"." Duplicate citations after every quote, please. (Though you'll get in trouble more for this at FAC, it should still be done.)

Honestly the big issue is that this article is written too heavily towards the demographic that have seen the prior 21 episodes, and leaves those who haven't out in the cold. Courcelles 02:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I've added a background section (while half-asleep), so hopefully it has made things a lot clearer. If any inconsistencies have arisen please let me know. Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 15:04, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

• Nicely done. It all makes much more sense now :) Passed, though I'll offer the advice that you not rush to take this to FAC; at a minimum the prose would need ironing out and the reception section expanded; it does meet the GA criteria. Courcelles 04:58, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
