Talk:America Ferrera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I wonder why she's named "America". I also wonder if she's ever read that book by Moon Unit Zappa. 64.12.116.73 03:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Explain to me...
How is this image allowed in an article about America? It was created to promote a movie, not her in particular. Whereas on the other hand, the headshot was created solely to promote her. -- Zanimum 16:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's normal for an article about an actress to discuss her movies. And if a screenshot or movie promotional image is essential information for disucssing the movie, it can be used. You should ask the person who added the screenshot to explain why he/she thinks this image is essential information for the movie discussion in the America Ferrera article. I, for one, can't find a reason.
- An unfree "promophoto" of America Ferrera would be unnaceptable, as it would not pass item #1 of Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, that says that we only use unfree images when it's not possible to create a free alternative (which is not the case for a picture of this actress). For instance, if the screenshot is only being used to show how Ferrera looks like, and not for critical commentary on the movie, it also fails the 1st fair use criterion.
- Let me know if you have any other questions. Best regards, --Abu Badali 16:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Would the promo pic of America from the Ugly Betty and Betty Suarez pages be ok? --Witchbaby 04:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
