Fair use rationale for Image:Lyrebird-on-reverse-of-Australian-10-cent-coin.jpg

Image:Lyrebird-on-reverse-of-Australian-10-cent-coin.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.

Picture of the day

The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) is a pheasant-sized songbird endemic to Australia. At approximately 100 cm (39 in) long, it is the longest of all songbirds. The male (shown here) has a showy tail, with the two outermost feathers forming the shape of a lyre.Photo: Fir0002

"Primitive" bird?

The sub-text for the Superb Lyrebird in the section Passerine describes it as a "primitive" bird. In what sense is it primitive? Certainly it is "ancient"; is this the same thing? Old_Wombat (talk) 09:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
