[edit] Introduction of Life series articles

Hi again. I have a small problem with the following description found in the introduction of many of these articles, something along the lines of "it was the fourth of Attenborough's specialised surveys following his major trilogy that began with Life on Earth." The problem here is that the third documentary of the trilogy was specifically about animal behavior, while the next was on plants. It seems somewhat strange to say plants are a more specialized topic than animals; it's roughly analogous to saying 'botany is a more specialized field than zoology'. We certainly can say this with birds, mammals etc in relation to zoology, but not really with plants. Is this just your own interpretation, or have the first three documentaries been described by others as a trilogy somewhat independent from the following ones?

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Boxdelights.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 23:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV on Top Gear

You recently removed a phrase describing the outcome of the Top Gear gardening efforts has having "predictable results." I think you misunderstood my meaning. The point was not to judge the outcome as predictable (i.e. routine or some related judgment) but rather to say things came out as we might expect whenever we see an undertaking Clarkson prefaces with "How difficult can it be?" (i.e.: a disaster!) I'm going to rethink how to phrase, then restore the comment using less ambiguous wording. Hopefully this will serve as a heads-up so it won't be reverted as POV where there is none. Thanks! --Drmargi (talk) 19:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
