Talk:Da'an
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taelons are gender neutral. Da'an is neither a he nor a she, and all such gender references should be avoided (even though admittedly that can be tough sometimes). --Tuxley 11:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- On the show, Taelons are referred to using the masculine pronoun. The same applies to any writeup I have seen. It seems a bit overboard to refer to sentient creatures, fictional or otherwise, as it, though it should be noted on the page that the use of a gender specific pronoun is simply for ease of use, quite literally, for lack of a better term. ~--Ogredrew 11:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Don't remember seeing your comment until now. Anyway, I never suggested calling a Taelon an "it", but merely to avoid using gender references. For most instances you can simply repalce "He" or "She" with the character's name to avoid a direct gender reference. But I'm not going to fight anyone on this, because it doesn't matter enough to me to spend more of my time editing the article only to have someone needlessly undo my work later on.--Tuxley 01:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Da'an.jpg
Image:Da'an.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.
