[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Confederate in the attic.jpg

Image:Confederate in the attic.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.

[edit] Format

Rather than just a bullet-list, there should be some discussion of the book itself, with follow-up. What happened in the lawsuit? Did Shelby Foote say anything of note? Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I haven't found out the results of the lawsuit. Also, given how anal some are about cites, anything more than a brief sentence on each chapter would invite ref tags.--Bedford 15:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
