[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Art Of Noise With Max Headroom - Paranoimia (12in mix) excerpt.ogg

Image:Art Of Noise With Max Headroom - Paranoimia (12in mix) excerpt.ogg 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 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.

Not that I care that much, but what is trying to be said in this sentence?

"The Max Headroom Show had 2 Seasons 85-86 and 1987 shows not series by cinamax was a major success."

This is the first sentence in the 3rd section, "20 Minutes into the Future"

[edit] Name origin

Does anybody know of a source confirming "Max Headroom" as being derived from "max headroom", a message on signs (now or past) in the UK denoting maximum allowable height of a vehicle under a bridge? Mapsax (talk) 00:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

That is the reason given for his name in the television movie. Are you asking if this is the origin for the name in reality? — Val42 (talk) 20:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I already thought that it was. I guess that's more reason to include a mention in the article.  :) (I don't remember watching the TV movie although I might have.) Mapsax (talk) 02:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
