Sorry, I don't have much experience with these. Could you tell me how this is different from fair use? The above criteria looks like fair use, and sure, that would work, but that's not what the image is tagged for. All the other CC-1.5 attribution pictures I can find were owned by the uploader. I hope you understand how this seems fishy to me.
If the image is being used for the 1-10 reasons you listed above, then I don't understand how it's omitted from having a fair-use rational written for every use, which is three for this image (something that probably couldn't happen if it were fair-use). Thanks for your reply. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 23:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yellow Dot

Why is there a big yellow dot that says "YOU ARE HERE" off in the background?
