[edit] Style

An edit of 6th July 2007 substitutes by 1954 standards with within 1954 standards. I am familiar with the first form but have never before seen or heard the second, so this "improvement" is a surprise. To me, it sounds awkward and is confusing. Is it a US idiom? If by...standards is confusing to some, perhaps we can find a neutral third version? Mike Shepherd 11:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Rennie as Klaatu Image Fair Use Assertion

Michael Rennie (deceased) shall never be availabe to create a new free image.
Given this article states Michael Rennie is "best known" as Klaatu which IMO statisfies Wikipedia:Non-free content#Acceptable images "8. Images with iconic status or historical importance: As subjects of commentary." as iconic within the science-fiction film genre.
Given Wikipedia:Non-free content#Unacceptable images has exception "12. ... However, for some retired or disbanded groups, or retired individuals whose notability rests in part on their earlier visual appearance, a new picture may not serve the same purpose as an image taken during their career."

Therefore I assert this Image:Klaatu Incognito.jpg image depicting this notable deceased actor in his iconic role qualifies to illustrate this article. There being no objection, I shall add the image to the Infobox after seven days. Conrad T. Pino 03:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
