[edit] Copied text?

Much of this is word-for-word identical to the marvel.com profile. I can't see the history information on that so don't know which came first. --Mrph 23:07, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Pretty much is. i just threw it up to have something to work with. Picture is the only one of any quality I could find, and it may be from OHOTMU, or from the original comic book Fasaud first appeared in. I don't see whay it would be a problem, since OHOTMU is a comic book, and using low-res images in informational format is fair use as far as I know.

Marvel.com copy is pretty much used throughout internet databases, but if it represents a problem it should be easy enough to modify. Since marvel puts it forth this information for public disemination to advance its product, (ie, official press release or ad copy)it should also comply with fair use. It depends on whether Marvel defines its .com information as ad copy or licensed salable product.

My lawyer-fu is weak and so I will let others work it out.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scrapper (talk • contribs) 5 October 2006.

Well, Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright specifically mentions OHOTMU in the Images which cannot be "fair use" section, as it's not quite the same situation as a with a normal comic book image. Not sure exactly where things stand with Marvel.com text, but if it's not listed with suitable disclaimers there, I suspect Wikipedia still can't use it. Sorry. --Mrph 07:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Edited the bio...I will try to find a new image as well. Scrapper 02:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)Scrapper

[edit] Union Jack

Ok, so Fasaud's back and appeared in the recent Union Jack limited series. He's also had a serious redesign - looks much less like a caricature now. Ideally, I think we want an image of each version on the page. The original is distinctive - and is why he attracted criticism as a racist stereotype - but the new one will probably be more relevant to future appearances. --Mrph 00:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Fasaud.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
