Fair use rationale for Image:Nebulastapledon1.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Nebulastapledon1.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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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.

long run for a short slide
[edit]I wrote this article, and, revisiting it and the other articles I've written for wikipedia, I don't think I'll be writing any more, simply because the whole enterprise - attempting to write a verifiable, truthful, WELL WRITTEN article, has become lost under baroque and contradictory wiki-guidelines and the parochial attitudes of spods with various axes to grind, and various other wiki-wank. It's just too much effort, what with holding down a job and all.
Afore I vanish forever, a few points: Wikipedia is a great idea, a wonderful resource, and an interesting forum. It's also hard to find your way around, hard to get even some of the most basic writing and editing done on, and interfaces with the user in a cold, unfriendly and pedantic fashion. The "Help" section is appalling.
Please feel free to disagree with this. I may even read it someday.
Incidentally, none of this is a dig at the user above who seems to be asking a fair and genuine question. If it's any help, I own the book and took that photo with my phone...
