[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:B7 Logo2.jpg

Image:B7 Logo2.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.

  • Moved Contents panel to appear on access.
  • Hid some previous header text with HTML Tags - I may want this later!
  • Begin trawling through the mess.
  • Hid irrelevent Terry Nation info as there is a seperate page for this author.
  • Began tidying up the new 'first' paragraph.
  • Began editing the 'Season One' text.
  • Hid some text on David Maloney as there's already a page for him.
  • Ditto with Chris Boucher.
  • Tidied the scripting and casting paragraph.
  • Divided text into 'Script and Character alterations' and 'Casting the characters' sub-sections.

You're doing a fine job, why not create an account rather than use different IP addresses each time? Stephenb (Talk) 08:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Done - i've never editied articles on this scale, so hadn't done so before. Thanks :-)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:B7 Cast A.jpg

The image Image:B7 Cast A.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:
