Fair use rationale for Image:Samcampaignbartlet.jpg

Image:Samcampaignbartlet.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.

Possible vandalism about why Sam left politics

An IP user added the following bit about Sam's political career after the California 47th election: "While most believe Sam did in fact lose the election, this issue was never resolved. Some believe he won in an upset, only to subsequently resign the position in a sex scandal involving underrage girls in a hotel room during the Democratic National Convention." This unsourced bit has no basis in anything ever depicted in the show and the policies of Wikipedia clearly dictate that it ought to be removed, which I promptly did do. I suspect that this edit was added as a joke, as I later realized that Rob Lowe's famous incident where he made a sex tape with two girls (one of whom turned out to be underaged, although Lowe claimed he did not know that) occurred while he was attending the Democratic National Convention. However, then a different IP user (who I should point out has a history of non-constructive edits) reverted me. I reverted that reversion and then I was reverted AGAIN by a third IP user. I think it's quite clear that we have a bit of joke vandalism going on here and I wanted to note that here. If any more reversions occur, I think I will be forced to seek administrator intervention. --Hnsampat (talk) 04:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not true it was never disclosed what happened, what reliable source do you have to prove it?

The burden of proof isn't on me. The burden of proof is on you, who added the information. See WP:PROVEIT. --Hnsampat (talk) 11:51, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
