Use of Playboy cover edit

Well I understand your point, and won't try to revert this edit, but there are litterally hundreds of magazine covers used in wikipedia to illustrate actors, models or other celebrities. If you want to remove all of them, good luck. Hektor 21:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I have no idea who Hektor is addressing here, but I have just wondered why Parillaud's image has been removed (see Image talk:Parillaud25.jpg). Is there someone who knows the answer? <KF> 23:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
It's actually very simple. Magazine covers are fair use for (a) an article on the magazine, or (b) an article of the depicted subject, if that article discusses the appearance of its subject on that magazine's cover in "sufficient" detail. See the discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fair use. In the present case, the article doesn't discuss Anne Parillaud's appearing on the cover of Playboy at all, and if it did, I wonder if it would be justified... her appearances in Pour la peau d'un flic, Nikita, or also The Man in the Iron Mask probably were much more important. Though I must admit I don't know enough about her to really judge that; it appears that at least one of her early movies (Patricia) was essentially a porn flick.

Citation needed for blockquote edit

We have a long blockquote in the 'Biography' section:

"For a while, she was in me like a demon. I would do things I normally would not do. She was awkward, depressed, full of despair. But to me there was also a spiritual underline to Nikita. In a very excessive way, she is a loudspeaker of the youth of society today. She destroys herself because she doesn't believe in anything on Earth." In preparation for the role, she underwent three months of judo lessons and target practice to hone her skills as a government assassin: "I hate guns, I hate violence, I hate judo." Her early ballet training also came in handy for one amusing scene though she modestly downplays her physical gifts, saying only, "I have a chewing gum kind of body. I just forget about the bones." Despite the glamour and danger of her character, Parillaud cautions, "It never happens to me, this kind of story."

This is clearly an excerpt from somewhere, but it is not clear from where. I'll attach a 'cn' tag to the quote, but since it is such an extensive quote, I'd like to bring attention to it here as well. — Charles Stewart (talk) 08:43, 30 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
