[edit] Comments

While we don't have documents for this case, I note two positives:

1. Ms. Strelnikova actually LOOKED like someone age 115 would look (look at her arms, for example)

2. This claim did not emerge recently; we had stories about her 112th birthday in 2002. Therefore, circumstantial evidence makes me less skeptical of this case than of some others. In other words, I think it 'could' be true but we'd need documents to make this case official. Ryoung122 23:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but is she still alive? Extremely sexy 13:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I found the report of her death on May 3, 2005 here (it is in Russian). The source is Saint-Petersburg city newspaper. I have updated the article accordingly. --Vs1969 (talk) 20:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Image:Strelnikova.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.
