Fair use rationale for Image:Veronica Mars 2x22.jpg

Image:Veronica Mars 2x22.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.

Trivia item: Underhill

Removed this item

Mayor Goodman is staying at the Quail Creek Lodge under the name "Mr. Underhill," a reference to Frodo Baggins' undercover name in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Considering the amount of 80's trivia that ends up on the show, it is much more likely that this is a reference to the movie Fletch (film). Without any source, there's no way of asserting which is correct. RoyBatty42 (talk) 05:45, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Synopsis
- Generally this section should be called "Plot".
  - done
- Also, given the episode's status as the season finale and therefore wrapping up a lot of plot, I think it'd be worthwhile adding a short one paragraph section before this section to cover the background. Mostly just to cover anyone who is jumping into this article for the first time.
  - done Tell me if you want me to add refs to primary sources.
    - Great - only thing now is that you've got actors bracketed in the background and then again in the plot section. Best just to do it once - especially since it'll cut down on the duplicate wikilinks. Miyagawa (talk) 21:06, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - done

Images
- Only issue is that you shouldn't put wikilinks in image captions where you've linked elsewhere in the article. Otherwise the images are fine.
  - done

Production
- The quote starting "We knew that Beaver was the killer..." would be better if it was clarified it came from Thomas rather than one of his crew. Miyagawa (talk) 21:06, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - done
- Gia's appearance in the Veronica Mars movie needs a cite.
  - done
Reviews
- The quotes need direct citations.
  - @Miyagawa: Let me know if that's good enough. BenLinus1214^talk 21:39, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'd found a couple that you'd missed - but I added them myself. :) Miyagawa (talk) 21:48, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
