[edit] Fair use for John Landy

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

it is a historically significant photo of a famous individual
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public. Harro5 22:26, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
