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

GA on hold
I liked reading it but fix up these things pls. I'll wait for 7 days.
 * In Unicorn Mountain (1988): "Based upon the novel’s title and jacket art, a casual reader might have expected 1988’s Unicorn Mountain (Arbor House/Morrow) to be just another entry in the proliferating fantasy field of the Eighties." This is not a good way to explain a book
 * Removed Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps Bishop’s most critically acclaimed novel is the Nebula Award winning No Enemy But Time. perhaps is very vague
 * Fixed Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Swap all but first part of the lead with Career Highlights. that's actually ment for lead
 * Swapped Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * years of book are repeated in headers and first lines on each book
 * Fixed Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Ditto with publisher details in images and first lines.
 * Removed details when they're referred to in the text


 * In The UrNu Sequence: N.B.: The novels A Funeral for the Eyes of Fire and Under Heaven’s Bridge are only tangentially connected to the series and thus not part of the sequence proper. who thinks so? add a source.
 * Added source Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * In Selected Short Fiction it became one of only a handful of genre stories to appear in the prestigious anthology series. The story might have languished in limbo, had the author not pulled its submission to Harlan Ellison’s never-published anthology The Last Dangerous Visions. POV and maybe OR or hoax.
 * Added source Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Ext. Links after sources.
 * Fixed Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Still I let off the fair use issue.
 * All images have the fair use license. Was anything else missing? Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for reading this and offering advice. If there's something else that needs work, please let me know.  Thanks again. Mhhutchins (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
