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 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.

Link to Holmes Pastiche of “War of the Worlds”
It may be true that the author of Sherlock Holmes's War of the Worlds was inspired to write it upon viewing this film, but is that strictly speaking notable for this article? Holmes pastiches are fairly commonplace, and all must have been inspired by *something*, but it would be tedious for this to be noted every time it happened. Many people must have done many things upons seeing the film, so this seems more like coincidence than an encyclopædic fact. Were the book to be a direct continuation of the story and characters of this film (or even, perhaps the novelization), or a prequel to its events, rather than adhering to the Conan Doyle canon, then perhaps it would be notable, but nothing is given to say that that is the case. If the writing of the other book was so remarkable because it had greater cultural significance than the film which inspired it (as if one was to say that seeing the film insired J.K. Rowling to write Harry Potter), where the “offspring” was better known than the inspiration, that too would be worth noting. However, as it stands it seems to be a fairly trivial factoid, and not really worth including. Jock123 (talk) 09:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
