[edit] Fair use images

Someone has removed both of the images saying that they are not fair use for this article. I disagree with respect to the image from the 2006 Winter Olympics. The picture in question is a digital photo (thus a derivative work) of a full-length TV broadcast of the game in question. In terms of the portion of the work reproduced, it is a tiny fraction of the original TV broadcast. It is used to represent the subject of the broadcast. Because of these two facts, this image does constitute fair use, and I am restoring the image. Johntex\talk 00:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, removing the top image was an accident. However, the one below is a clear copyright violation. Screen shots are only fair use when they appear in an article related to the program the shot is taken from. We could use that image to illustrate an article on the television programme in question, but we cannot just add it to an article that merely happens to cover the subject matter. As the template makes clear, such images can only be used "for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents." - SimonP 02:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
If you need any more free pictures, I uploaded a few faceoff pics: Image:HitmenHurricanesFaceoff.jpg, Image:IginlaDraperFaceoff.jpg, Image:YelleDraperFaceoff.jpg. The last one isn't currently used in a Wikipedia article. Since they are my own work and there are already pictures here, I'll let someone else decide if they should be added to this page. -- JamesTeterenko 04:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Faceoff

Does anyone have further input about the rules of a faceoff? The article brushes by some simple rules, but it doesn't cover all the rules. MikeDawg 19:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
