Talk:Character Map (Windows)

Fair use rationale for Image:Charmapv.png
Image:Charmapv.png 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 Wikipedia articles 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 05:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

generalization?
The current article only focuses on Windows' charmap.exe tool, whereas an article about a character map should be more generalized (e.g. the german version of this article explains what a character map is and lists examples of implementation). The rooker (talk) 11:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thorn (letter) links to Character map implying that it is not platform-specific, which is evidence that this article (or rather, the Character map article, whether or not it's a redirect) should be expanded as you suggest. — Unbitwise (talk) 23:02, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
