Fair use rationale for Image:Aabf12.jpg[edit]

Image:Aabf12.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.

Reviewer: Ruby2010 comment! 15:23, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

No images anyway, so we're golden

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Comments[edit]

Wikilink the characters in the plot section (Marge, Homer etc)
Remember to have sentences with quotes end with citations

That's really it. Nice work! As always, I'll place the review on hold for seven days, though I know you'll get to it before then :) Ruby2010 comment! 15:45, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've fixed all the problems now. As always, thanks for the review! :D Queenieacoustic (talk) 16:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Pass for GA. Ruby2010 comment! 16:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this article take up so much space[edit]

It's articles such as these which preclude me from ever even considering contributing financially to Wiki. Why on Earth does this article exist, and why is it 13 paragraphs long? This is completely unworthy of a general encyclopedia, it is laughable. IF it must take up space in the wiki sphere, I would suggest it be paired down to at most 2 paragraphs, and it should be made apparent what it's notability is.--Tallard (talk) 17:50, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
