[edit] Rationale for use of screen shot on wikipedia in the article Lon Chaney Jr.

To show Chaney Jr. wearing his effective werewolf make-up as it appeared in the 1943 Universal film "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman".

1. The image of the character from the world reknown DVD Universal Studios movies, the Wolfman monster. The Wolfman became an icon of pop culture after the release of the original Universal Lon Chaney Jr.film because of this image of the actor with the make-up making the image significantly educational for readers not familiar with the acting career of Chaney Jr.
2. It is of lower resolution than the original film (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. It represents a single frame from the film, comprising less than 1/20 of a second of the film's running time.
4. No free or public domain images showing the actor in complete make-up exists from the film.
5. It does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film in any way, since it is only one of many images of the character in the film.
6. It is being used for informational purposes only by a non-profit organisation.
7. Source of the DVD screen shot http://www.shadowclad.com/horror3.htm
