[edit] Picture

Does anyone have access to a better picture? I think the current one is inappropriate for two reasons: (i) it is a picture from a U.S. video game, and therefore doesn't particularly portray the folk mythology, and (ii) it is a proprietary image, and while the fair use policy may cover its use in illustrating the article on that particular game, I don't think it would apply to using it to illustrate other articles. If anyone has an idea as to where to find a public domain or free-license image, I think that would be the better option. Thanks, Rundquist 00:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Here's a link to what should be a better picture of the Leshy: Lechies. This drawing comes from Collin de Plancy's 1863 "Infernal Dictionary", which should be exempt from copyright laws. 67.162.14.101 02:33, 2 March 2007 (UTC) Chris G.

[edit] merger

i believe my article on lechie is more concice and tho they obviously address the same creature of russian (in this case polish) lore, they will better serve wikipedia viewers as a single article.--Tophatdan 19:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I agree that the articles should be merged. Each has some unique insight and none of the content should be lost. --Rigel1 23:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • (gosh, this is well down the line..) - yep merge. Will do it tomorrow. cheers, Casliber (talk ยท contribs) 13:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Leshii1.jpg

Image:Leshii1.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 ensure 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.
