category
hey! I placed this in Category:Muppets, but it was removed with the edit summary "this has nothing to do with the Muppets". What the @#%!? this article has everything to do with the Muppets! It may not be an "official" Muppet thingy but it deals with the Muppet characters (and even the legal problems with the Muppet company). I think putting it in the muppet category would be a proper move. what does others think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.137.207.3 (talk • contribs) 12:04, 13 September 2007
 * I aggree. I had put it in there a while back too but it was taken out for no reason too. I'm putting it back it. If someone does not agree and would like to expain why they think it does not belong there then we can discuss it here. But please don't revert or remove it without talking about it first.

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

Why "Unauthorized"?
We of course need to avoid the impression that this is sanctioned by the creators of the Muppets, so that readers don't get confused. However, a parody by nature isn't authorized and doesn't have to be. You might point out when a parody has been specifically authorized by the original authors of the material being parodied, but you don't need to point out when a parody is not authorized, since this is the natural state for parodies. And I think the use of the term "unauthorized" in this manner may give the impression that it's "unlawful," which is definitely not the case (parodies are highly protected by copyright law's Fair Use clause). So could someone rephrase the sections that currently use "unauthorized" so as to indicate the correct meaning? Thanks. Kilyle (talk) 09:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
