File talk:Tarponback.jpg

Latest comment: 17 years ago by Chowbok

Thanks for adding your note on my "talk page" regarding this image. I believe that I have fully described the reasons for the use of this image under the fair use.

Could you please explain how a picture of a concept car from over 40 years ago fails the first fair use criterion. In other words, how is it possible to describe and illustrate a subject that does not exist and how do you create a freely licensed image of it today.

Because show cars like this Tarpon were destroyed, it is not possible to take a picture of it today. Will taking yet another picture of the factory photo qualify? I like to learn about this subject, but I do not think another image generation can hide the original!

The purpose of including this image is to help illustrate the characteristic design incorporated into the fastback. I believe it adds to the value of the article, in addition to the aims of Wikipedia.

If you disagree, I welcome your questions and a detailed discussion of the concerns.

I discussed this with CZMarlin on his talk page, but for the benefit of people coming here: I was mistaken in appying the "replaceable fair use" tag to this image. After CZmarlin's comments, I removed it. —Chowbok 18:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
