Fair use rationale for Image:Image-Haven Ocllo.JPG edit

 

Image:Image-Haven Ocllo.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 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.

Notability tag edit

It has two references talking about the worlds of Ultima Online, and the characteristics of them. So notability has been established. Any reason to put this tag [1] back there? I only bothered getting two of the hordes of Google news archive search results I easily found by taking a brief moment to check. Just look for any world mentioned and the name "Ultima Online" and you can find things covering the expansion packs and describing the new worlds in detail.

Describing the worlds and their characteristics isn't the same thing as explaining why they're notable. The whole point is to WP:verify notability, not just verifying their characteristics with the sources you found... I haven't been able to find much in terms of sources that explain the significance of these worlds. WP:PLOT is another policy that requires some description of the reception and significance. Have you found any sources that would achieve that? Shooterwalker (talk) 15:53, 9 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
When they describe a book or a film or anything, then that counts as notable. If anything is described in enough detail, then it is notable. Plenty of people do talk about these different lands in reliable sources, providing significant coverage of them. Dream Focus 18:42, 9 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Describing" what it is" isn't enough to satisfy the requirement that we discuss the reception and significance. That's the point of WP:PLOT. It's also the point of notability requires verifiable evidence. If we want to just describe it, it would belong in the main article, where we can put it in context of the work as a whole, along with the reception and significance of the work as a whole.
