[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AvengersBook1.jpg
Image:AvengersBook1.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 Wikipedia articles 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.
If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Engish Born American Actor"
<nowiki>Well, what can I say, it says "English born American Actor"... that is a nonesense statement. Patrick is English, he has works in TV and film world wide, through the Avengers and other series. He has even appeared in Music video's for English bands, such as Oasis, as such I find fault in this description of him as "American Actor" and will remove it forth with. I only leave this discussion stub, as I know how protective of good talent the American race are, but unfortunately, he is English. -- Xelous 6th August 2007.</nowiki>
Now I really don't get it, it has been edited to English/American Actor, what is this passion to make Patrick American, he's not, he's English, he's just worked in America. Would we call Sean Connery an Scottish/American Actors because he happens to have worked in America?.. No, Sean is Scottish... and Patrick is English, I feel the article needs to remove the American reference to this person and leave it like that, not keep dancing around that he is American, when he is clearly not.

According to the entry, he's been a US citizen since 1959. That makes him a bit American, doesn't it? Widmerpool 06:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
While it mentions his being born a British national, no mention is made on the official Patrick Macnee website of any conversion to American citizenship or dual British/American citizenship. Until a reliable citation can be found (printed biography/autobiography) reference of American citizenship should be omitted.82.44.82.167 (talk) 00:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Scrooge
"He also did an introduction for Scrooge, a 1953 Christmas film which was made in colour by The Sun." Does this make sense to anyone? Since when did The Sun newspaper make movies? And The Sun wasn't even in existence in 1953. Does anyone know what's going on here? Widmerpool 06:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like a hoax. There's no such film listed in IMDb, so I deleted it. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was in the classic 1951 version though. Clarityfiend 07:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
