FUR tag

@Stefan2: Every element in {{Non-free use rationale}} is already explicitly and particularly addressed on the page. Formatting that information through a template is not necessary. If you believe there is some particular element missing, please let me know and I'll add it. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 00:29, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

The "summary" section contains a source (WP:NFCC#10a). The "fair use rationale" section states that the copyright tag is valid and reveals that the article in which the image is used. The licensing section contains a copyright tag, but a copyright tag is not in itself a fair use rationale, so any text in the copyright tag can be disregarded. WP:FUR states that the file must contain a rationale explaining how the image is used in a way consistent with Wikipedia's non-free content criteria, but the file information page only states that the file is used in a way consistent with the non-free content criteria, not how it is used in such a way. Replacing the word 'how' with 'that' is a common error in non-templated rationales, and rationales where 'how' is replaced with 'that' are not compliant with WP:NFCC#10c. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:42, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Good grief - the use of a low-resolution image of the front page of a newspaper to illustrate the newspaper in the newspaper's own article is classic Wikipedia fair use. If you didn't like the rationale, you could literally copy-and-paste one from any other newspaper-cover image out there. But the current one meets NFCC#10c, which you identify as being the problem. Its used in one article. That article is identified. The purpose it is used for is identified: "is being used to illustrate the publication in question". – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 06:02, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
