A fact from WSKG-TV appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 January 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a New York state TV station thought a St. Bernard could serve as a mascot—until she proved incapable of following direction and had to be sent to obedience school?

Fair use rationale for Image:Wskg.gif[edit]

Image:Wskg.gif 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.

- Comment: Some real firecracker hooks here. ALT1 should not be too much of a DYKFICTION case as the subject isn't the show but the station.
