Fair use rationale for Image:Screenshotetree.jpg
Image:Screenshotetree.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.

Refimprove
This article makes many assertions about etree and the technology of file sharing, but has only three inline citations—one of which (#2, "PCP has been largely inactive…") I just added on a peripheral issue. It may also need to be checked for NPOV: e.g., in the lede, "etree pioneered the standards for distributing lossless audio on the net"). --Thnidu (talk) 00:28, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

-- npov -- I'm not trying to NPOV this. I would welcome any documentation which shows etree did not pioneer this field. . Tom Anderson

Chronological order is not good here
After the lede section, the article literally begins by talking about etree.org, starting with Background. Then follows a long history, and finally the Community section is in the present tense—"as of 2007", but that's a separate issue. And only in the middle of that section, 80% of the way through the meat of the article, is the reader told that "The etree wiki was put in place around 2001 because the main etree.org page was no longer regularly updated."

I'm adding a pointer to http://wiki.etree.org/index.php?page=AboutEtreeOrg to the lede §. --Thnidu (talk) 00:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

-- wiki.etree.org -- This website was not immediately adopted by the whole etree community. The idea of a wiki was quite new and although it was created in 2001 it never officially took over the role of etree.org Instead the data at wiki.etree.org simply grew more complete than etree.org and information seekers gravitated to wiki.etree.org while etree.org petrified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by.
