Fair use rationale for Image:Babook front.jpg
Image:Babook front.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.

Articles and Reviews to use to improve article
This article from Discover Magazine is behind a paywall so I can't read it perhaps a copy is available from a library website or from Phil or the author of the article.

Nice long review has loads of great stuff, someone read it and use it to improve the article dramatically

Article in Savannah Morning News

UniSci review/article

Product review from National Science Teachers Association

Review in New Scientist also behind paywall.

This is Phil's rebuttal to a bad review, unfortunately the link to the bad review is dead (damn link rot) Note that most of these have been inserted as references on the lead of the article, for ease of editing I have put them in WP markup for references.

My review 'copy' ... Tormod Guldvog writes in his review that "It is indeed a gem when it comes to teaching things about common astronomical phenomena. Plait discusses common ways bad astronomy is communicated, in the media, in the classroom, and perhaps, most of all, in our own minds." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cap020570 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Science?
Is there a reason that this article would be tagged as being part of WikiProject Science rather than as part of WikiProject Astronomy? KConWiki (talk) 05:58, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
