Talk:Lateline

To disambig or not to disambig

I performed an edit on 07:39, 20 September 2005 to effectively change the disambig page between the cancelled U.S. sitcom and the longrunning Australian current affairs program, back to the Australian current affairs article, which is how the page began:

Brendanfox (restoring aust. current affairs content, as this program is much more notable than a US sitcom that was cancelled during its first season

On 9:31, 20 September 2005, User:Lifeisunfair wrote to User:Brendanfoxs talk page:

  1. "LateLine" (the sitcom) was cancelled during its second season.
  2. "LateLine" (the sitcom) has aired in several countries (including Canada and the UK).
  3. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I assume (based upon your edit history) that you're Australian. I'm American. It hardly seems fair for either of us to unilaterally deem his country's "Lateline"/"LateLine" more notable than that of the other country (given that Americans are as unfamiliar with yours as you are with ours).
  4. Arguments of comparative notability aside, it seems absurd to me that one stub should take precedence over another. —Lifeisunfair 09:31, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Now, for the record I am an Australian. However, I believe that an unsucessful comedy that was cancelled in its second series should not be given the same weight as a succesful, award winning current affairs show that has been running for almost ten years, and makes significant contribution to Australia's political climate. Regarding the stubs, I do plan to expand the article, and better integrate it with other Australian political articles in the near future. --Brendanfox 11:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

If you can find a news article or press-release that confirms this, please list it here so the statement can be added to the article. Stickeylabel 13:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lateline.jpg

Image:Lateline.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
