[edit] Pronunciation

How do you pronounce his last name? Might be worthwhile to put this in the article. -Timvasquez 15:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm European, this type of name would probably be "Buloo" i think...--Mole Man 04:41, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

It's an intersting phenomenon, really. While on the show, he insisted it was pronounced "Baloo" like the bear in "The Jungle Book", but when the movie came out, he was telling everyone to pronounce it "BOWL-you". An entire section could be written about this, really. -Jkazoo

Jkazoo, do you have any reliable sources for either pronunciation? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

In an interview with the fan newsletter "Crow's Nest", he confirms you pronounce it "Baloo", and on the review on "Siskel and Ebert", Ebert pronounced it "BOWL-you", a pronunciation Trace confirmed on a scifi.com chat. Jkazoo 21:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't find any good web reference to "Crow's Nest", but I rather doubt it would be considered a wiki-reliable source. Still, if you could provide information on how one might find this, it may be useful. If I'm right in thinking your reference to Siskel & Ebert is their circa April 20, 1996 review of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, I couldn't find the text of that review to properly source this information. The only Google-based source I found was booyaka's FAQ, which may be well known to MSTies but isn't exactly wiki-reliable, either. However, I'm sure we can dig up sources that would satisfy WP requirements. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:Ptqd.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.
