[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Andrei tarkovsky dvd.jpg

Image:Andrei tarkovsky dvd.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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.BetacommandBot 20:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Why is the title of the film here given as Rublev, whereas Rublyov would give the accurate pronunciation? Note that transliteration would be Rublёv, i.e not with e. E.J. 13:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The American Title according to IMDB is Andrei Rublev. I have a DVD from Artificial Eye which also has that title, so I assume it is the common English title. Every country seems to deal differently with the title issue. In German for example it is Andrei Rubljow. So I guess if the standard of film article titles in Wikipedia is to use the English title, we should change it again to Andrei Rublev and maybe add the correct transliteration in the original title section.

That is exactly what we should do. Cop 663 01:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of January 3, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: There were some MOS issues, but they were small enough so I've fixed them myself. For example, you shouldn't create links to the same link multiple times, per WP:CONTEXT.
2. Factually accurate?: Pass
3. Broad in coverage?: Pass
4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
5. Article stability? Pass
6. Images?: Pass

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— BorgQueen (talk) 13:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blinding of masons.

He has a flashback during which he remembers his time working for the Grand Prince, who put out the eyes of artisans who had displeased the prince.

This is not correct. It is obvious from some cues that he does so to prevent them from building an even better house for his rival brother that they are already engaged for -- a fact leading eventually to a war. In fact this is a quote from a known legend, though unrelated to the historical situation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.85.28.101 (talk) 15:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
