Fair use rationale for Image:Ricardo cortez.jpg[edit]

Image:Ricardo cortez.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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:WilliamHDaniels.jpg[edit]

The image Image:WilliamHDaniels.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The article uses the following self-published source:

Overview[edit]

The section is confusing with its use of actor names referring to the characters. According to all biographers Cortez and Garbo did not get along very well making a statement "Cortez' love for Garbo is genuine ..." misleading. Apart from that I hardly find it encyclopedic to write "The director's mischievous nature shows again (...)". I will contact User:Dr. Blofeld asking for a Wikipedia:POV Cleanup and a rewrite according to WP:PSTS. ... User:Dr. Blofeld has declined to edit the section, I will remove it.
