[edit] Expanded article

As per my efforts on previous David Attenborough series articles (see Life on Earth through The Life of Birds), I have expanded this article and will gradually add individual episode summaries, each of equal length. Chris 42 11:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cut Dutch version

Should there be a mention of the Dutch version produced by Evangelische Omroep, which removed all references to evolution? See [1], [2], [3] for side-by-side comparisons. Mvuijlst 00:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes! Cop 663 14:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Wel, erm. that's it, really. Not much more to say than "the Dutch version produced by Evangelische Omroep removed all references to amongst others evolution, fossils, and continental drift. The narration by David Attenborough has been replaced by a not-always accurate Dutch translation, and cuts were made to the episodes. The tenth episode was not broadcast at all."

I have a question: is it the Dutch version or a Dutch version? I mean, was this shown on mainstream Dutch TV, or was it produced for some kind of specialist Christian TV channel? Cop 663 19:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

It is the Dutch version produced by Evangelische Omroep. There is another Dutch-language (Flemish) version, produced by Canvas (Belgium), which has the full text. I'll add that to the page. Mvuijlst 11:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Life of Mammals chimp.jpg

Image:Life of Mammals chimp.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 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.
