[edit] Role of Don Quixote, U.S.A.

A citation tag has been added for the sentence "In Don Quixote, U.S.A., the novel by Richard P. Powell on which Bananas was loosely based, the protagonist was an agronomist specializing in bananas." I take it that the tag was added not for the assertion that the protagonist in Don Quixote, U.S.A. was an agronomist specializing in bananas (for which the source is the novel), but for the claim that Bananas was loosely based on this novel. That Don Quixote, U.S.A. was a source for Bananas is well-known and already reflected in the article; that Bananas ended up being very unlike Don Quixote, U.S.A. is also quite clear, though apparently it started as more of an adaptation, see Eric Lax, Woody Allen, A Biography 220 (2d ed. 2000), available on Google Books. I've changed the language; maybe someone who knows more about the relationship between Don Quixote, U.S.A. and Bananas can describe it better. There is, of course, no proof that the bananas in Don Quixote, U.S.A. had anything to do with the movie's title. John M Baker 14:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bananas1.jpg

Image:Bananas1.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.
