Fair use rationale for Image:Affliction (ENT episode).jpg

Image:Affliction (ENT episode).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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lead: "Some of the standing sets were redressed to appear as the USS Columbia" -- I believe there was no "USS"

Reworded. Miyagawa (talk) 12:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"After the Enterprise returns to Earth, Commander Tucker (Connor Trinneer) is preparing for his transfer to the Columbia." -- This sounds like Enterprise is returning to Earth after something. What? Also, you might want to note that Colombia is a new ship, to explain why he'd be transferring to it.

Reworded - they returned because the Columbia was being launched. His reasons at the time for transferring weren't expressed specifically on screen other it wasn't because he hooked up with T'Pol during the previous season (it was though). Miyagawa (talk) 12:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the Klingon in the photo in "Production" is a cosplay? If so that should be noted.

Done. I was torn between using a fair use image or a free use, and thought on balance this was better (even if the skin color is a rather strange mottled brown). Miyagawa (talk) 12:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source of the TOS Klingons' appearance should be noted. I believe the story is the original Klingons appeared as they did for budget reasons, and later producers told people to "imagine" that the old Klingons look like the new ones do. Then they decided to do this story because "Blood Oath" and "Trials and Tribble-ations" created conflicting continuity.

I have a Gross/Altman behind the scenes books that covers the original series and the first five seasons of TNG. I'm sure there must be a reference to this in there, so let me check it tonight and I'll see if I can add that to the article. Miyagawa (talk) 12:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Finally checked it. I've added in the budget part from the production website, and also added the origins of the look - its a rather surprising story that apparently the makeup artist at the time didn't know what to do and so asked the actor what he fancied being done up as. The Romulan line is from the same page, but I can add a direct citation after it if you think someone might try to slip a cite needed tag in there. Miyagawa (talk) 10:19, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The lead notes this episode is considered one of the best, but I don't see anything in "Reception" specifically noting this.

Final line of the second paragraph (the Den of Geek top ten list). Miyagawa (talk) 12:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate links check out (I fixed one). External links look good, as do disambig links.
I see no problems with neutrality or stability.

Placing the article on hold pending improvements. —Ed!^(talk) 00:58, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great work! Passing the article for GA. —Ed!^(talk) 11:35, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
