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

Image:LiliAlvarez.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.

[edit] Discussion concerning this article

A discussion that may affect the name or title of this article is ongoing here. Please voice any opinions or concerns on that page. After the discussion concludes, this article may be moved to a different title, in accordance with Wikipedia's Naming Conventions. Thank you. Tennis expert (talk) 19:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I could not verify the preferred spelling of this athlete's name in the English-speaking world. She has no profile on the WTA website; on Wimbledon's website, her 3 consecutive appearences in the womens' final are credited as "E.M. de Alvarez". I cannot use that to move the article to "Lili de Alvarez", because it provides no verification that the moniker "Lili" is preferred, with or without diacritics, and I can't make a partially backed move to "Lilí de Alvarez" (since the last name without diacritics can be verified), because such a mixed rendering cannot itself be verified.
That being the case, this article will stay where it is for the time being. If someone knows of any instance that can provide verification of a preferred spelling in English, please inform it here, so that we can move the article accordingly. Redux (talk) 15:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

The following books in English use "Lili de Alvarez": (1) Hollander, Zander; Collins, Bud (1994). Bud Collins' Modern Encyclopedia of Tennis. Detroit, MI: Visible Ink Press, 42, 464. ISBN 081039443x.  (2) Starr, Cynthia; King, Billie Jean (1988). We Have Come a Long Way: The Story of Women's Tennis. New York: McGraw-Hill, 24, 40, 42. ISBN 0-07-034625-9.  Those books are reliable enough to justify the move, in my opinion. Tennis expert (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

The International Tennis Hall of Fame also uses "Lili de Alvarez". Tennis expert (talk) 18:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I was going to move the article, but you beat me to the punch. :) Redux (talk) 19:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
