Fair use rationale for Image:Drzaius.jpg

Image:Drzaius.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 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.

Redirecting this article

The article was redirected to List of Planet of the Apes characters on 22 February 2011, but then reverted six months later [1]. Since then, nothing else has been added except additional cruft.

Additionally, discussion is not necessary. The other articles were merged into List of Planet of the Apes characters without discussion.

Given that it was reverted (twice) that means that there needs to be a discussion of some sort, being WP:BOLD should really only be done once or twice (at most - otherwise it's vandalism). I can't comment on the other articles as I don't know their specific circumstances. The best thing to do would have been to open a discussion on the article's talk page and wait a few days, especially given that the article has been edited recently. We usually don't follow time constraints on Wikipedia, so there is no reason it had to be done as soon as possible. In any case you have done it now, and I'm not going to revert it again

This move may have been a bit abrupt, but I found it odd we had only one Apes character article. It made the template look rather odd as well. If the whole Zaius article has been replicated on the List of Planet of the Apes characters page, as appears to be the case, then this should stand. - Gothicfilm (talk) 19:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
