Fair use rationale for Image:Ntimewar.jpg
Image:Ntimewar.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 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 05:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Proust's Last Beer
By searching the book on Amazon.com, for example, you can find the correct date of publication. The full title of the book also better describes the contents. It was not just about famous deaths -- quite a few little known people and animals, for that matter, are in it. Appel the original idea, helped with the research and co-wrote the book proposal, which covered deaths in March. He continued to help with research but I wrote the final manuscript. His illustrations are quite good, and were well received, but I don't have copies of reviews of either of the book or his art, which I recall were laudatory.
