Fair use rationale for Image:AmazingB5.JPG
Image:AmazingB5.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 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.

Secondary canon
Here's an attempt to define secondary canon: Secondary canon is all that within the B5 universe which is otherwise sanctioned by JMS in some official capacity (i.e. published somehow (including online) so we can quote him on it), but not first broadcast on television or published on DVD.

Secondary canon can also include things like dolls and toys, but only if we can prove a link to JMS, as opposed to the uninteresting link to a studio franchise marketing department.

The reason I'm bringing up the point is: I just stumbled across the Neil Gaiman-published script for "Day of the Dead" at Amazon as ISBN 1892058022, Day of the Dead: A Babylon5 Scriptbook (Paperback). Now, published episode scripts seem to be canon, but none of them are listed in the article. Novelizations are listed, however.

It seems to me the published script, currently on sale, belongs in this article. But we need a whole Scripts section if we do that, and there's a problem with the article title. &mdash;Aladdin Sane (talk) 16:30, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
