[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FilePile1996.gif

Image:FilePile1996.gif 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. 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 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 07:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

The "References" box says, "This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Please include more appropriate citations from reliable sources."

But considering that this article is about a website, what better authority could there be than that it's archived at the Internet Archive? A book or "reliable" publication would only discuss it. The Internet Archive actually shows it (almost) exactly as it existed. I agree that other sources would be beneficial, but lacking them shouldn't generate such a message in this context. The Internet is gradually making printed material, especially about "files," and repositories of them, harder to find, since most discussion thereof has migrated to the Internet itself!
