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

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 19:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

NPOV?
The article seems more a promotion of the term Spychip as promulgated by Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre. Kayfox (talk) 06:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what your criticism of the article actually is. Albrecht and McIntyre invented the term. However, they did not invent the proposed uses of the RFID technology they highlighted. Big companies did that in their patent applications. How would you suggest the article be improved? HairyWombat 06:22, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The problem is it's a blatant POV WP:CONTENTFORK. I have redirected to the main RFID article and suggest any improvements you want to make to the anit-RFID "spychip" movement would best be made there. Also, Albrecht and McIntyre are the ones labelling IBM's patent applications as being "spychip" applications, so it's still their POV. GDallimore (Talk) 11:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * This is incorrect. A quick search on Google would have shown you that the term "spychip" has been used in many news articles unrelated to the book. The term is now in general use, independent of Albrecht and McIntyre. In addition, their book "Spychips" is easily notable in itself under Notability (books). I will therefore take the article into my User space and, after adding suitable references, restore it. HairyWombat 20:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, if you can find reliable references which can provide a balanced viewpoint a separate article MIGHT be appropriate. But there are no reliable references at present so it's still a long way off from that. GDallimore (Talk) 22:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
