Count? Never in the original series is Baltar referred to as Count. People have erroneously mixed him up with another character, Count Iblis. This page should be renamed to simply "Baltar", and all instances of "Count Baltar" on this and all related pages should be changed to "Baltar".

Not necessarily, although not mentioned onscreen, the novelisations of the original episodes refer to him as Count Baltar, though it is hinted in the novelisation of the pilot that he basically 'bought' his title due to his wealth. Douglasnicol 18:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:Countbaltar.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.
