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

Golden Fig Leaf?
A friend who worked at AT&T told me that the statue was "anatomically correct" when first made and installed at the top of 195 Broadway. However, at the Madison Avenue location it was a lot closer to the public and viewed from a different angle. He claimed that AT&T management then added a "golden fig leaf" for modesty reasons.

Since I have no references for any of this I will not add to the article, but perhaps someone else has additional information —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.72.13 (talk) 16:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

A friend recently informed me (1/09) that the statue is no longer in its outdoor Bedminster, NJ location. Perhaps it is already enroute to Texas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.72.13 (talk) 16:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I work in Downtown Dallas and can confirm that as of July 2009, Golden Boy is in the newly renovated lobby of One AT&T Plaza (the company's new HQ). 75.20.163.138 (talk) 17:52, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
