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

Image:HMVSavoyHavana.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.

[edit] Fahrvergnügen

Has this really passed into general usage? I see a mention on its article page to an inline skating grind, but that would seem to be a niche usage. I haven't heard it used aside from in reference to the Volkswagen ads. Dforest (talk) 09:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] His Master's Voice

Though not everyone may know the famous picture, I also question whether this has fallen into general usage. Is there evidence of general use, aside from in reference to the trademark? Dforest (talk) 09:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Literary context

The lead sentence currently reads:

Winged words are words which, first uttered or written in a specific literary context, have since passed into common usage to express a general idea—sometimes to the extent that those using them are unaware of their origin as quotations.

Some of these examples are not, strictly speaking, from a literary context. So if they are indeed considered winged words it seems the lead sentence should be changed. Otherwise they should be deleted or moved to an appropriate article. Dforest (talk) 09:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
