Fair use rationale for Image:Book signing.jpg
Image:Book signing.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 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 03:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Pronoun choice
Is there any evidence Karen Dior preferred masculine pronouns? If not it seems somewhat disrespectful to use them throughout the article.--holizz (talk) 10:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I rewrote and sourced the article and previous versions referred to Dior as a "he". I also went by what the sources referred to Dior as (they also used "he"). I've no idea what Dior personally preferred, but if it's an issue, I have no problem with the pronoun being changed.  Pinkadelica Say it...  11:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Bring a drag queen just means he was a female impersonator, not a trans woman. Karen still appeared as Geoffrey throughout his life. I could find no evidence that he was transgender, so I think masculine pronouns are correct. AniKitt (talk) 09:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Karen Dior was the stage name of a female impersonator, not the chosen name of a trans woman. Since Geoffrey doesn't have a page separate from his persona, it feels disrespectful to erase his masculine identity in this one. AniKitt (talk) 09:07, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
