[edit] Uncited/weasel worded/POV section

I'm removing the text Stewart Lee and Richard Herring were often known to mock The Friday Night Armistice for repeatedly being recommissioned by the BBC, despite its "alarming mediocrity and middling ratings". In face of the BBC repeatedly disrespecting their Sunday lunchtime show, This Morning With Richard Not Judy, with little to no promotion and constant unexplained schedule adjustments, Lee and Herring encouraged viewers to help them promote the show themselves. Richard Herring's main suggestion was for business men to cross out the "I Love The Friday Night Armistice" message written in Tippex on their briefcases, and write TMWRNJ instead.

It appears to be a bit of a rant by a This Morning With Richard Not Judy fan, text like the BBC repeatedly disrespecting their Sunday lunchtime show, This Morning With Richard Not Judy, with little to no promotion and constant unexplained schedule adjustments has no place in any article, and the phrase "alarming mediocrity and middling ratings" is in quotation marks yet a Google search gives zero hits, so this whole story sounds anecdotal. (And the last sentence about business men having "I Love The Friday Night Armistice" Tippexed on their briefcases makes it all sound like a joke, which it probably was).172.164.115.187 18:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:Armannucci.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.
