[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Raffles gibraltar.JPG

Image:Raffles gibraltar.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.

[edit] The case of the two Raffles, gentleman thieves

Is there any connection between this Raffles, gentleman thief, and Raffles (Lord_Lister), also a gentleman thief? If not, that's rather surprising given the similar names and occupations. In any case, no matter what the (lack of) connection is, I think it'd be good if both articles made some notice of the other Raffles. Martijn Faassen (talk) 01:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Indeed there is, the other Raffles started out as a cash-in on the popularity og the gentleman thief, similarity of name, and in #253 of the Dutch series it is revealed that he took his name from Hornung's creation: Mind you, in the Lord Lister-universe our spin bowler was named John C. rather than Arthur J. How much about this should be put in this article?

I think you should put something in the article of the cash-in, and a smaller mention in the article of the original. Martijn Faassen (talk) 00:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
