[edit] Digital controversy

I think the bit about the controversy over the dance routine's use in a commercial should be a section by itself? Thoughts? 23skidoo 14:23, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Possibly, but I think it's ok the way it is. After all, it was really just an argument between Ava Astaire on one side and Robyn Smith Astaire (the animosity between this pair goes back to Astaire's wedding in 1980) and the makers of Dirt Devil on the other. I don't think too much should be made of it in Wikipedia, and the issue of how the Astaire estate handles the use of Astaire's film clips is already covered in a section within Fred Astaire's solo and partnered dances. Of course a lot of Astaire fans feel very strongly indeed about it, but others could argue that it exposed him to a much wider audience. After all Volkswagen did something similar with Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain a couple of years ago and there wasn't much fuss. Dermot 17:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dance number description deletion

Although it's been there for awhile, it struck me that the statement about Astaire "for the first time in his career" casting off aspersions of elegance in the "...Liar all My Life" number comes off as non-NPOV editorializing and possible OR. Also, unless there's a source somewhere that says Astaire had never performed such a number before the statement can't really be backed up. 23skidoo 13:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

The comment is based on the following section from Mueller p.327 "The number is something of a high point for Astaire, the only time in his film career that he was able to fully repress his innate propensity to be couth...only here...are delicacy, refinement, wry understatement and above all elegance finally given the wind". Dermot 20:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

That's all well and good but it isn't cited (please see WP:CITE so therefore it's an NPOV violation to have it in there as is. I'm removing it for now; feel free to put it back later provided it is properly cited. 23skidoo 21:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Royal Wedding DVD cover.jpg

Image:Royal Wedding DVD cover.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 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 10:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
