Fair use rationale for Image:Romania2007europromo.jpg

Image:Romania2007europromo.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 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.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "through the national selection Selecția Națională 2007 in February 2007." - I think it should be made more clearer that Selecția Națională was a national selection competition
• "Romania reached fourth place." - more grammatical; finished in fourth place.
• "Todomondo ultimately achieved 13th place in the contest's Grand Final," - the date of the 2007 Eurovision Grand Prix final would be better included in the lead

Competing entries and shows

• "a competition in order to select their entrant" - the words "in order" are redundant IMO
• "Due to observers' multiple requests," - better; to multiple requests from observers,
• "TVR decided to set up a commission" - establish might be more formal in this case
• "to analyze several entries in regards to their compliance to the competition's regulations." - analyse

Semi-final 2

• "The second semi-final on 3 February had an audience of 5,511,000 viewers" - television audience
• ""Love Struck" by Indiggo was disqualified since the duo failed to attend rehearsals." - because the duo
• "gathering over 10,000 votes" - more than

Final

• The last two sentences of the first paragraph lack reliable sources
• "at the MTV Romania Music Awards 2006 prior to 1 October 2006, TVR's cutoff date." - TVR's cutoff date of 1 October 2006.
• "This led to the entry's exclusion from Selecția Națională, furthermore alongside "Crazy" by Morandi and Wassabi, " - the word "furthermore" looks out of place in this sentence
• The word mass-disqualifications is not hyphenated

At Eurovision

• "and launched their own website in April 2007, www.todomondo.eu" - I don't think the name of the website is notable enough to be included
• "selected countries, except the host country" - close repetition of the word "country"
• "the show was aired on TVR," - broadcast is more formal
• "Their show made use of pyrotechnics whose costs amounted to €5,000." - "whose" is not the correct word for this sentence
• "Manole further stated:" - you don't need the word "further" in this case

Voting

• "Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Romania in the Grand Final, as well as by Romania in the semi-final and Grand Final of the contest." - repetition of the word "Romania"
• "For the points announcement," - For the announcement of the points,

References

• Reference 5 is missing the author who wrote it
• Reference 8 was published on 11 February 2007 not 11 February 2020
