Fair use rationale for Image:Kalleankaspocket.jpg

Image:Kalleankaspocket.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thanks

Thanks for a very well-written expansion of an article I originally started. It added many details of the pocket books' history that I had not originally known. JIP | Talk 20:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Latin America

Aren't these also published in various Latin American countries? Danceswithzerglings (talk) 19:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't seem like that, according to the Inducks site. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 14:19, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

This article is confusing

It really is. It seems to suggest that the Disney pocket books have a common numbering scheme or similar contents - they don't. Infact, they are edited independently, and in all countries some stories appear and others do not. This needs to be made clear and the title perhaps could be changed to "Disney pocket books" or something like that, because there are many that are not named "Donald Duck" and virtually all of them have stories about other characters. --D.

Yes, it's true that they also contain Mickey Mouse stories, even though up to #118, they only had one universe (Duck or Mouse) per issue, although in recent years Mickey stories are printed less because Mickey's kinda fallen out of favor with the readership. And it's also true that nowadays, they're not simply translated whole issues of Topolino.

I think the article can be salvaged by incorporating it into Topolino, as all the stories are basically ones originally made for Topolino libretto. Maybe some day people will write own articles on the English Wikipedia for each localized version. But alas, we don't even have anything such as Disney comics in the USA so far (which has been proposed on a talkpage six years ago), and much less do we have corresponding articles for European countries. --80.187.106.89 (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Maybe the Italian editions are edited independently, but I think for the last years Egmont have been co-producing the series for large parts of Europe (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Netherlands and Poland, I think), so the content is basically identical, except for the language, and occasionally the cover. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:10, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
