Fair use rationale for Image:Dabf06.jpg

Image:Dabf06.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.

Bad English

  "After being talked to by Marge, she snatches it from Homer, then
  throws it out the window."

Who is the third party who was being talked to by Marge and then who also snatched the torch from Homer?

Fixed Plot Summary

It read like a Babelfish translation from another world. I cleaned it up. Jacobus (talk) 06:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

There is one deadlink

~~More to come Ruby2010 comment! 21:20, 26 July 2011 (UTC)~~[reply]

Wikilink Rainier Wolfcastle in lead
You can remove Canada in the lead (I think most readers know where Toronto is; wikilink the city for those less informed) ;)
Wikilink characters in polt (Homer etc)
The plot seems a little disconnected (why did Homer steal the Olympic torch?) The section could use some expansion (it's still below the basic word limits)
"even though it Canada is not mentioned"
"features the Simpsons first travel to Canada" -> the Simpsons'
"It was written by Frink and, according to Selman, the line became very popular with the staff..." I think you should change the first "It" to "the line" and change second "the line" to "it"
Make sure sentences with quotes end with citations
Refs 2 and 10: page number?
Remove caps on ref 8

On hold for seven days. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 21:53, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! Queenieacoustic (talk) 10:28, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good except: Refs 2 and 10: page number? Ruby2010 comment! 16:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The refs were added by another editor. I've asked him if he could provide with the page numbers, but he hasn't responded yet, so there's really nothing I can do for now unfortunately. Queenieacoustic (talk) 21:50, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Scorpion0422 likely didn't include the page numbers because they weren't available. Page numbers are not always available on Newsbank. And besides, page numbers are optional per Wikipedia:Citing sources. Theleftorium ^(talk) 23:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm satisfied then. Pass for GA. Nice work, Ruby2010 comment! 03:06, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
