Fair use rationale for Image:5 putin pres iran-1-.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:5 putin pres iran-1-.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 non-free media 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Vladimir Putin

Hi. I noticed your question at Alex's talk page. I cannot talk in his stead, but the reason why I also deleted it was: the article is very long as it is, so anything put there needs to be relevant to the subject (and sourced and verifiable, but I suppose the plain facts are not in doubt here). I do not know why the length of both guys is relevant in the chapter on foreign politics. And there is more. This is an encyclopedia and not poetry, so readers will look for relevance, and that way you can suggest something to them without actually writing it - you get them to "read between the lines". Most people at Wikipedia now believe that doing this - suggesting something to readers and not sourcing that suggestion is not what an encyclopedia should do. I would advise you to read WP:NOR and WP:SYN to see why original research and unsourced synthesis are wrong (though that article does not really deal much with "novel synthesis" as I described it). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Pieniezny (talk • contribs) 16:04, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
