The Abraxas reference is only found on Grodog's Abyssal Geneology - that is to say, it's a fan-made connection. Including it in a general encyclopedia article is like mixing bits of someone's Star Wars fan-fiction in a Star Wars article. That there's no attribution is even worse.

I deleted it once, but some knucklehead put it back. I'll be content to snipe about it in Discussion for now.

I've always been bad at playing defense, thank you.

Well, it's gone forever, now. I didn't do it, though. This is really an excuse to give props to myself. MasterGrazzt 15:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey doesn't it look like the whole entry for this page was (mostly) copied out of one of the magazine expos? Specifically the one who's image is used? If someone could check that, it should probably be cited... (sov)

[edit] Fair use of image?

It's not clear to me that the magazine cover scan used on this page is used to illustrate the magazine in question, but rather the parties pictured on the cover. This is not in keeping with Wikipedia's fair use policy. -Harmil 03:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Grazzt and Iggwilv.jpg

Image:Grazzt and Iggwilv.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 ensure 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.
