Fair use rationale for Image:Svitale.jpg

Image:Svitale.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 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.

Added cleanup tag

My reasoning: It's written like an magazine feature about the guy, not in the encyclopaedic style. Donama (talk) 07:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion?

"Salvatore Vitale was born on September 22, 1947" "Massino and Josephine began dating in 1956, married in 1960, and had a daughter, Adeline."

Possible typo? It's extremely unlikely that this guy was married when he was 13 years old.

Furthermore, is this line necessary? "She had been voted best looking in her eighth grade class." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightpuma (talk • contribs) 08:15, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Salvatore is said to be born in 1947; Massino married in 1960: Massino is not Salvatore. (According to the corresponding article, Massino was born in 1943, and would thus have been at least 16 years old.) — Anareth (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
