Fair use rationale for Image:Rapa Nui film.jpg
editImage:Rapa Nui film.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Skin tone and virgin cave
editThe author of this article wrote: "The king’s advisor tells the king that the Ramana is too dark skinned (which doesn’t make sense since everyone has the same island tan – it’s really because she is a Short Ear) and needs to be purified by spending the time from now until the Birdman Competition, a period of 6 months, in the “Virgin’s Cave." "
This is probably extraneous commentary. In India, light skin is considered desirable in women, probably because it indicates that the woman is of high caste and not a laborer. I do not know whether the people of Rapa Nui had similar conventions or not, but the above commentary does not help clarify this issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaddy1975 (talk • contribs) 15:19, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
New birdman
editActually, Ariku-mau wasn't going to get another year as birdman under any circumstances. Before setting out in the competition Noro demands that if he wins Ariki-mau must retire (at about 1:08 in the movie). Actually, what Noro says is "Matu-atani,...if I win, you retire. It is time for a new Ariki-mau." "Arimi-mau" is apparently not his name but his title. He is simply listed as "Grandfather" in the film's credits, and perhaps that is what "Matu-atani" means.
