To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.

[edit] Fair use for Dilbert characters

SCEhard T affirms this image is 'fair use' since:

it is a low resolution version of a famous cartoon character
its use on Wikipedia does not devalue Dilbert brand products
its use in the article helps the reader to identify a character they may know by sight but not by name
