Fair use rationale for Image:Spiritcircle.gif
Image:Spiritcircle.gif 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

This page is overly focused on the portrayal in comics
Domino Masks have their own history, much much earlier than their appearance in comics. Especially seeing as the use in comics is secondary, based on the earlier history of Domino Masks, comics should not be the focus of the article. Can someone please expand the article to include information on a Domino Mask itself and not just its use in comics?

Secondly, the whole second half of the article (notable comic users) is trivia, and is not important to the article itself. It's a well known motif in comics, there's no need to list that many examples. As trivia is against Wiki guidelines, that section needs to be shortened, probably converted to prose listing two or three major examples and explaining the importance in the medium.24.190.34.219 (talk) 16:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd like to second the observation that the topic of the domino mask should not be treated as though its main importance relates to comics, though I'm sure an acknowledgment of its widespread use in comics has a place. I discovered this article by looking up the term after finding it used in the description of a masquerade ball in Henry Fielding's 1749 novel Tom Jones --  Book 13, chapters 6 and 7.  Perhaps this reference can be incorporated into a future rewrite of the article.  JEM--71.184.190.25 (talk) 05:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Concur with the foregoing, extend the observation to the overly detailed account of the French scandal in the major section; adding appropriate tags. 71.239.87.100 (talk) 15:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Etymology
The article says that the name derives from "French priests' winter hoods". Does this refer to the hood worn by Dominican friars? MishaPan (talk) 01:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

disambiguation
"three discrete court cases" In American English, this would mean the cases were semi-secret, which is hardly going to be true of a case causing a public scandal. In old books, "discrete" might mean "separate". Which is it? 108.56.212.179 (talk) 13:50, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * There is nothing wrong with this phrase, even in American English. You appear to be convoluting the current, principle connotation for "discrete", which implies separate and unrelated (see ), with the same for the distinct word "discreet", which means discerning, prudent, unpretentious, modest (see ). Note, there is no connotation of "semi-secret", even in the latter. Best, do the background work, rather than relying on memory, what? 71.239.87.100 (talk) 15:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Tags added to reflect continuing editor dissatisfaction with content
