Closed debate, as use of a non-free image on this page would be a clear violation of policy. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 16:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• The disambig. page MOS states that images on disambiguation pages should "aid in selecting between articles".
• Two editors dispute whether Image:Allops.JPG meets that requirement.

• One editor continuously removes the image, asking on this talk page, on the adding editor's talk page, and in edit summaries that an explanation for how the picture meets the MOS standard be provided on this talk page. This editor also states that the image does not include a fair-use rationale for its inclusion here.
• Another editor continues to revert the image's presence with an explanation for its inclusion in his/her edit summaries.

I believe in this case the image doesn't hurt nor help the disamb page. Taking in account the debatable fair-use, I would go with not using the image.Xuxunette 09:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Pictures of the various versions of Optimus Prime could "aid in selecting between articles" for people who don't know much about the franchise or have only seen one picture or the other. The picture in question however is much too jumbled to make out which version is which and serves more to confuse than to help.--Mirage GSM 11:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Use of non-free images here would be a violation of policy, not just the Manual of Style. Use of copyrighted images on disambiguation pages is an express violation of WP:NFCC#9. See the first sentence of WP:NONFREE#Examples of unacceptable use. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 16:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
