[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rafael alencar publicity shot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rafael alencar publicity shot.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Gus Mattox
Hey - what a great job on the Videography. Through experience, I've developed a "shorthand" version that you might find useful. The differences from what you did are as follows:
Your format:
- Big Rig (Colt Studios/Buckshot Productions, 2006) Starring Brad Patton, Colby Taylor, Gus Mattox, Jason Crew, Brian Hansen, Kristian Alvarez, Blake Nolan, Tamas Eszterhazy, Eddy Mataro and Omer. Directed by John Rutherford.
My format:
- Big Rig, 2006, Colt Studios/Buckshot Productions; John Rutherford, director, with Brad Patton, Colby Taylor, Jason Crew, Brian Hansen, Kristian Alvarez, Blake Nolan, Tamas Eszterhazy, Eddy Mataro, Omer
I eliminate most of the parentheses, leave out the name of the person the article is about (in this case, I took Gus Mattox out of the cast lists) and use "with" to list the remaining cast rather than "Starring". Instead of "Directed by John Rutherford.", I use "John Rutherford, director,".
I use commas to offset everything and try to eliminate the word "and"; I've found it's still quite readable and saves a lot of characters. In the videography for Mattox, my format vs. yours is more than 300 characters smaller. This doesn't seem like a big deal until you start wikilinking everything and the character count goes through the roof!
Obviously, this is just a suggestion; if it's easier for you to do it the way you did, by all means, continue. There's also a possibility that videographies will be reduced to title and year, and possibly studio, with no other cast or director information included. I'm not in favor of that, but the "abbreviated" version at least gets some info out there.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for your hard work—as someone who's done a few of these, I know what a chore they are! I'll convert this one to the more compact version and wikilink it; hope that's not a problem. Have good days.—Chidom talk 13:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
