Fair use rationale for Image:Redux 5x02.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Redux 5x02.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.

Widescreen
[edit]I corrected a quote that stated that this episode was the first episode to be filmed in widescreen. This is untrue, because the opening shows scenes from the last episode of season 4 in widescreen. These scenes are not cropped, but show more information on the left and right sides, suggesting that the last episode of season 4 was at least filmed in widescreen. I won't posit if the native format of the X-Files is widescreen or which was originally shot in widescreen. However, I just wanted to point out that this previous episode was filmed in a widescreen aspect ratio.Kakomu (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
May as well review this one as we're now closing in on Black Oil being a GTC.
- Is it reasonably well written?
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- Ref 11 is dead. The official emmys website would support that Duchovny was nominated that year, but you might have to dig around in the official guide books to see if you can corroborate that it was based on this episode, as the awards themselves don't specify.
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- The fourth season Mesiler book also contains sections on these episodes, which might add something to it. I can check this later if you don't have it handy; same goes for the two reviews that will be in the Shearman book. They'd help pad this out as the reception section looks a bit small for a two-part episode. I'm also vaguely sure that the fifth season DVDs have a feature of some sort about Lindala making a bunch of those fake aliens. I'll see if I can find that too, unless you have it to hand.
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Seems fine.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- Not a problem.
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- Images are relevant, one is free; the non-free one could do with a better rationale however. It highlights a scene which exemplifies the "loss of faith" idea by showing all the pre-prepared hoax bodies, so specify on the image's rationale that it's used to illustrate one of the key themes of the episode in this manner.
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- A few issues to work through here, if you need me to grab any of the material I mentioned for you then let me know and I'll go hoke it out. GRAPPLE X 19:49, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Pass or Fail:
- I'll start to add to the reviews and fix the links, etc. Unfortunately, I do not have my Meisler book handy, and I don't have the bonus feature-version of the season five DVD. I'll hunt around to see if maybe the featurette is on YouTube, though.--Gen. Quon (talk) 20:50, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- That's okay, I can grab both of those tonight. GRAPPLE X 20:54, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I believe I've patched up everything except the production info and the Emmy award. I found a cite that said Duchovny was nominated for an award in 1998, but I can't find it saying it was for "Redux". Maybe it's in the Meisler book? If not, I'll remove it.--Gen.

- The awards section at the back of Meisler's volume 4 doesn't specify that this episode earned Duchovny the acting nod, although it does list individual episodes for most of the award nominations there. The "Redux" section in volume 3 doesn't actually have any information about the episodes, just a plot summary. The award mention should then be moved off to the season article as that's all we can trace it to. I've added some information based on the DVD features which rounds things out a bit more, though, so I guess it's an okay trade. I could have sworn there was something about Lindala building those alien corpses; but maybe that was a season 4 feature for the one seen in "Gethsemane". Weird. Anyway, when the award stuff is moved elsewhere we'll call this one a pass. GRAPPLE X 02:50, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Alright, I removed it. Should be good to go. --Gen. Quon (talk) 03:22, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Happy days, all set. Another one passed. Well done! GRAPPLE X 03:33, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Grammatical Trainwreck
[edit]"Although it was normal for the writers to add one or two different storylines for the different episodes, to create different interpretations, but Carter felt it took "the idea of the show" and spun it "in the most interesting way"."
Something has gone wrong with this sentence.
