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

Actors and actresses who grew up in New Jersey

 * Tom Cruise briefly attended elementary school at Packanack School in the Packanack Lake section of Wayne, and went to high school and lived his teen years in Glen Ridge.
 * Danny DeVito was born in Neptune, grew up in Asbury Park, went to school in Summit, and now lives in Manalapan.
 * Brian Keith, Sandra Dee, and Frank Langella were all born in Bayonne.
 * Actor Jack Nicholson grew up on the Jersey shore, and went to Manasquan High School in Monmouth County. The school's auditorium is named after him.
 * Actor and comedian Joe Piscopo was born in Passaic. In 1985, he released a comedy album entitled New Jersey. The cover art parodied the common perception of New Jersey as nothing but freeways and factories. The following year he starred in an HBO comedy special entitled The Joe Piscopo New Jersey Special. In 2004, Piscopo announced that he was considering a run for the governor's office.
 * Susan Sarandon attended Edison High School in Edison.
 * Cosby Show actors Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Keshia Knight Pulliam were born in Jersey City and Newark, respectively.
 * Bruce Willis grew up in Penns Grove and graduated from Penns Grove High School. He returns to the borough occasionally to visit family.

Other New Jersey ties

 * The first level of the Tony Hawk's Underground video game is set in an unidentified town in New Jersey. The town is depicted as a ghetto/white trash environment, stricken with a large amount of illegal narcotics. The fact that Mike Vallely refers to it as "the old neighborhood" indicates that it may be Edison, New Jersey although this can be neither confirmed or denied.
