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

Image:Yangrui.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.

Unsourced criticism[edit]

Various anonymous contributers have repeatedly added the lines "His interview manner is famously characterized by his thuggery and lack of knowledge about the topics he debates abouts, generally preferring to ignore points he does not understand and parrot talking points. He is truly a little biatch." Until credible sources are found to support the characterization of Yang Rui as a "little biatch," it's probably best not to include it.

Laudatory language, impact-management[edit]

This page often seems to receive edits seeking to 1) reduce the impact of some of the controversial statements that Yang has made (i.e., recharacterising Yang Rui calling for "foreign trash" to be "thrown out" as "criticism of foreign involvement in espionage and human-trafficking") and 2) divert the piece along laudatory lines to the point where it looks like Yang Rui himself has been editing this page.

I think in future there should at least be a requirement that his controversial statements be quoted in full to allow the user to assess for themselves the nature of what Yang said, with his alleged anti-semitic statements quoted separately to his alleged anti-foreigner statements (they are controversial for different reasons).
