Fair use rationale for Image:SavedFromthetitanicposter.PNG edit

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.

film survival? edit

it is stated in the first paragraph that the film was destroyed in a fire but then later it says that "President William Howard Taft, whose friend and military aide Archibald Butt was among the victims of the disaster, received a personal copy of the film" so does that mean his copy is still out there??

It's possible in theory that another copy could be out there - maybe among Taft's presidential files (did they have Presidential Libraries back then?). But the copies that were destroyed were the only known ones, unfortunately. Prioryman (talk) 23:48, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
That is a shame and im sure that they would have had presidential offices with all the information stored so it could be in there. you would think that someone will have the presidents records somewhere as americans like history, although they have little of their own this should certainly be included in it! Oh well lets hope somone finds it one day... JMRH6 (talk) 02:26, 21 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
The above citation seems to refer to the newsreel preceding the movie, not to the movie itself. Vs1969 (talk) 12:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
